Mother's Day Kite Flying

We had a quiet Mother's day yesterday. I got to sleep in and Steve made me scrambled eggs. Steve and Brian gave me a gift certificate for the spa but Steve forgets exactly what is included in "Mother's Day Package A" so I guess it will be a surprise. In the afternoon Steve was dying to test out his F16 kite before we bring it to the beach with us next month. It was hot so Brian got dressed in his kite shirt and shorts (thanks Aunt Claudia) and we went outside to watch. It was rough going at first because as soon as Steve launched the kite, a gust of wind came up and the thing took off, flying over our house and the neighbors house across the street and landed behind their house on the 13th tee. It was still in one piece so we tried again. The second attempt went better and we didn't have to chase the kite across the golf course again. Brian seemed excited about the whole thing, waving at the kite and the moon and was very concerned when the kite took a nosedive and got stuck on our roof. Here are some pictures from the fun:

Daddy won't let me fly it

It's way up there!

Watching very carefully


You can't take your eyes off of it!


You're worse than the Paparazzi, mom!


Kite flying cuddles!


I'll get it down!
