For FHE today, the kids (and Tyler) flew kites for the first time this year. It’s so funny to watch them fly their kites. I for one think that after 5 minutes it’s kind of boring but the kids could do it for hours on end (if it hadn’t gotten so cold), they run, they laugh, they (try to) make cool tricks with their kites or they simply lay down on the grass and admire the picture on the kite. It is so cool to be entertained and to love something so simple and cheap ($3 at Wal-Mart). Tonight there was no fancy game technology, no TV, no bundles of money for an enjoyable time simply the great outdoors, a kite and a little imagination. We heard no whining, only giggles, oohs and ahhs. They had the time of their lives.

Olivia admiring her kite.
As you can see her kite-flying pose hasn't changed much between 2005 and 2009.
Henry loving every minute of it.
Olivia's Barbie kite.
Henry's Spiderman (what else?) kite.
Both my precious kids flying their kites. Isn't great when the outdoors and simple things like kites have as much appeal as the Wii or TV? I love it!

What a fun FHE! I didn't even know kids would like flying kites anymore but I have a couple friends who have taken their kids these past few weeks and loved it! Barbie and spiderman were the perfect kites for Olivia & Henry. Very fitting!:)
