We had a lovely family adventure after dinner tonight. Greg suggested that we do something after dinner instead of the usual homework-read a book or two-TV routine, so all four of us went to the park across the street with Greg's new kite.
Which kicked ass, by the way! This thing really flew. Much better than Allie's little octopus kite, which refused to cooperate for most of the time. Greg's new kite is 54 inches wide and the tails are 12 feet long, not that you could tell most of the time because it was so high up that it's appearance was deceiving.
Four other people got out their kites after they saw ours, which was a neat bit of community competition. I went and got Greg's old rainbow delta kite after awhile, and that thing kicked ass too. We hurt our hands letting the string in and out, but it was totally worth it.
The girls made some new friends and we all got a good dose of fresh air and fun.
Then we rushed home to get in the homework-read a book or two thing before pajamas and bed. I'll bet the girls dream about flying tonight. I'm pretty sure I will.
