At the beginning of May, we took advantage of the most windy day we had seen in a long time by flying Reilly's Spider-Man kite!! It was Avery's first kite flying experience, but she could take it or leave it. What really piques her interest you might ask??
F l o w e r s. (Technically weeds, but she loves them just the same.) Nothing else can hold her attention for so long.
The boys had that kite up so high, when Reilly lost his grip and the kite flew off toward the pond and actually struck a duck!!! That poor duck flapped and squawked and flew off as fast as his little wings could carry him. And yes, hearty laughter was had by all... well, everyone but the duck. It was quack-tastic. (That was for you, Mikey!)
We all ran after the kite, and Reilly and Joey rescued it from the pond. There was quite a bit of de-tangling that had to be done, but we're happy to report that Spider-Man survived his run-in with his new feathered-friend... and lived on to fly another day.
We also made sure to visit the new baby ducks at the pond before we left, and then headed to Nana & Granddad's for some watermelon!
Here are a few of my favorite pics from a really great day...
