Go Fly a Kite!

The wutz flew is first kite this evening. The sun was beginning to set and there was a little breeze, therefore he decided that he must fly his new kite. Because there was so little breeze, getting the kite off the ground required effort and lots of running. So I ran and he jogged after me holding the plastic spool with yards and yards of white string wound around it. As the kite flew higher and higher he struggled to get it unwound but he managed after a little practice. He ran and ran and ran to keep that kite afloat. Finally he looked at me mid-stride and said, "I'm tired." Which was enough to make me put the brakes on (gratefully, I might add) and reel in the rainbow colored kite.
It was exhausting. And awesome.

Sounds like fun! Tiring but fun!
Fun!!
Most cool. There is nothing like the face of a child discovering kites for the first time. Maybe when the winds pick up a little he can try again and really get a sense of it.
