Lets go BURN a kite!!!

Randy and I had the pea brained idea to let Brad fly a kite today. The tempest like winds were perfect for a nice flight, or so we thought. Oh boy... Did anyone notice the wind gusts today?
My hair just had no chance today. I can’t pull off that wind blown look. It looks so much better on movies and commercials. Good thing I have a college degree to fall back on.
The winds were so strong Brad literally had a brawl with the kite. The kite would wrestle him to the ground then try to smother him. I thought Brad was suffocating for a brief moment. I think the kite won every round.

After spending what seem like an eternity…. We finally got the bird into flight. I swore the kite was going to rip Brad’s skinny little arms off. The wind was so robust and gusty I thought he was going to float away with the kite.
The stupid bird kept nose diving into the ground, getting stuck in the trees, or busting it’s wings. It was so frustrating for Randy and me. If eagles were not endangered species, we would have burned the ridiculous thing. Brad sure thought it was hysterical.
After we ironed out all the quarks and the bird was happily soaring high in the sky… Brad of course wanted to hold the handle.
Claire sat in the stroller and watched the whole demonstration. She was not laughing with us… she was undoubtedly laughing at us.

I guess it was not all it was cracked up to be because he was bored after 2 minutes and wanted Randy to hold the string. He ended up playing stroller derby with the neighbors.

I GIVE UP!!!!
