This fall has been full of breezy days.
Lucky for us, this warm autumn day whipped with gusty winds.
Perfect for…
ReeRee did a great job flying her first kite.
She held the string tight.
She walked backwards to keep the string tight.
Walked all the way down the driveway.
We didn’t have a lot of trees to worry about. We stopped before the powerlines that went over the road. There were some wire fences that almost barbed the fragile plastic kite. But the worst was the mess of sunflower stalks.
The sunflower heads became tangles in the string. One seedhead wouldn’t come off, so we flew the kite with the sunflower head on the string. (This bothered ReeRee, who really wanted me to take it off.)
What a beautiful, perfect fall day to do something really fun together.
Who said kite flying is just a spring sport!
