And so, that is what we did. Or at least tried to anyway. We went to the park on a nice windy overcast day, a storm was comming but the cold hadn't shown up yet: just the wind. But, Alice was addament that we try to fly a kit and so we did. I pulled one out of the two pack we had gotten from the dollar store and Alice and I put it together. After a short walk to the park we then spent 40 miutes trying to get the darn thing flying. As a good sign to how absorbed Alice was with the activity, durring the 40 minutes she did not once go to or look at the playground. It was only when I claimed defeat that she saddly jogged toward slides and swings.
We tried running to get it up,
Throwing to get it up,
We tried telling the kite to go up (Alice's idea :) )
We tried everything, and possibly even everything.
And we had fun, even if this was all we had to show for our attempts.
Oh well, we still have some good spring storms to come, now if it would only stop snowing....
