Operation Fly A Kite

Kites and Cherry Blossoms,
National Mall, Washington D.C.



Not the most beautiful weather, but the wind was just about right. Aside from flying his kite, Nate LOVED getting his boots stuck in the muck. Nate the "kite doctor" also decided our umbrella needed a medical intervention- thereby winding the kite's string entirely around the umbrella and then attempting to fly his kite vis a vis this inventive spool. On purpose. LJ thought it looked impressive. Nate tried and TRIED but to no avail. There are spectacular pink cherry blossoms all over the mall. It's very Spring-y yet not so Spring-like here.

They've both just finally crashed...literally. Good times, good times.

  1. Ahh--at last, I see the beloved Curious George boots and raincoat in action! Of COURSE they are best when getting stuck in the mud. It's the best part of wearing wellys, right?! Glad to hear your family likes kite flying as much as I do. Love, Aunt Joanne (and Uncle Jeff!)
