Let's go fly a kite

It seems every year the kids get kites for Easter. Almost every year they hardly get to use them or they get broken because they open them and loose pieces. So this year they have been stored under the rv. We have not really been anywhere with a nice open field or enough wind to fly them if there was a field. Well finally we had both at Indian Lakes Thousand Trails. Eric was super excited and got all the kited out and we set them up for him and his brothers. Zoey's kite was missing and I am pretty sure was tossed for missing pieces. Anyway we got them all sorted out and set up in the field. It was a perfect day. The wind was consistent and strong enough to keep the kites up for a long time. 

Eric's kite went up really easy and Ashton's was pretty easy as well. William's however was a PAIN! The shape of it made it kinda hard to get up so daddy had to step in and help. Eventually it was up and flying. They stayed out there quite a while flying them and letting Zoey have a turn since she didn't have one. It was one of the most perfect afternoons we had had in a while. 

This is one of the things I just love about this life. If the weather is perfect for flying kites we just go out and fly kites. No worries about soccer practice, or homework, or needing to be at this meeting or that meeting. No telling my kids we can't go outside because I am to busy cleaning my 2200 sf house because people are coming over or it just needs to be done. We have so much more free time now and it is AMAZING. 

Eric and Ashton are up and running

She is so proud of herself

No help needed now. Though you can see Eric is itching to get it back. lol
