4 Kites Up

Ahhh, kite flying. So relaxing...... completely misleading idea when you are trying to get 4 kites in the air that are held by the 10 and under set.

We get the girls kites up fairly easily. Then I help Caleb get his up. Matt is working with Jackson on his..... I tell Caleb to hold on tight ..... a minute later his kite it flying away string dangling. I chase it down and bring it back only to hear Matt yell - Maggie, that's too close! Jackson go that way!
Jackson obeys so well - he goes far enough to tangle his kite in a tree..... I start to head over to help Matt untangle it when I hear more yelling. This time from  Hailey and Caleb who also got too close to one another and now their kites were wrapping around each other in midair. Once we got everything untangled we successfully had all the kites up and flying. We had been there all of 15 min by this point and Matt and I were a little frazzled and worn out :) The kids have been asking to go again - Matt and I might need a nap first......

Caleb was acting out some superhero moves for me while some of the others were winding in their kite strings.
