kites.

Levi loves kites and often asks to fly them (not sure where this love came from) so of course he wanted this to be on our list of things to do this summer.  We had only flown them one other time in the past, and from what I remembered it was fun, but frustrating for the boys.  Isaiah is easily frustrated when things don't go his way or if he has trouble figuring something out and flying kites can be a bit challenging (especially when you are flying $1 bin kites! haha).  One day when we had nothing planned and the weather was beautiful with a bit of a breeze we decided to try it out.  

Levi was able to get his kite up very quickly and with little effort and so this really frustrated Isaiah.  The unfortunate thing was that Isaiah wasn't careful with his kite and lost the wooden dowel that held it open so we had to use a stick which was a bit heavier which made his kite harder to fly.  He got a bit grouchy, but he has it instilled in him that he doesn't give up so he wasn't about to!  He did eventually get his kite up in the air and was so proud of himself!  

We took a break from the kites to hit he park for a little while.  

Then it was back to the kites for a little bit before heading home.  What a fun way to spend a beautiful afternoon!
