We Know How Charlie Brown Feels…

Last week was…well, it was rainy, overcast, gloomy, and windy.  But one day was sunny and windy, and we headed out to fly our kite.  Little did we know it was to be our kite’s last flight.

Maddie went first (it’s good to be the oldest.)

She mostly stayed in place.

Time for the hand off…  Jack mostly did not stay in one place.

Even Dave got a turn.  It was funny.

Well, Jack thought it was funny.

And then I went inside the house to check on supper.  When I peeked out a few seconds later, Maddie was running across the yard chasing the kite with Jack on her heels.  She made it to the fence just as the kite picked up speed and flew to freedom.  AAUGH!

It didn’t get far. 

Dave cut it down out of the neighbor’s tree, tried to retie the kite string, but called the kite officially done-for as of 6:04 p.m. E.S.T.

Good grief.
