Let's go fly a kite...

March came in like a lamb - - so the first weekend in March we hit the park!!!


Hayden loves airplanes so we bought an airplane kite that we could fly together.  We got in-n-out and had a "picnic" at the park.

The kite is all put together! Peter, Hayden, Landen, and Britt

Max's cuteness was in full force.  He hung out on the blanket in the shade, with his hat on.  Plus I put sunscreen on his precious milky-white skin.

I love this picture it's like he's looking up going "oops, you caught me trying to eat the octopus".

He's so happy!

While Max hung out on the blanket, the boys worked on getting the kite up.  It was windy but not consistently windy so it was hard to get the kite to stay up.

Trying to get the kite up - look what a great park this is for a kite.  Hardly any trees and they are far away!

Hayden was so cute!  When the kite would start to fall he'd run around with his arms up trying to catch it.

Britt and Landen

My hat fell off but who cares, I'm playing with my toes!

Great pic of the kite.

Max checking out his Uncle Joe

I put Max in a swing for the first time.  He wasn't sure what to think or do. 

He ended up having fun with it.

 After the swing,  Britt and I hung out watching Hayden play on the playground for awhile.  When I was done, I walked back over to the blanket to check on the men who were still flying the kite.  They were pretty far away.  This is what I saw...

 The kite looks pretty low but it's in the air, good for them!  Then I walked closer and this is what I saw...

That's right, it's the kite, stuck in a tree.  Remember how few trees there were at this park and how they were far away???  How in the world did these two manage to get that kite stuck in a tree???

So then Peter comes over and gets the keys to my car.  What for?  So he could drive my car onto the grass and use it as a ladder.  Seriously???  I probably rolled my eyes 20 times and was glad they were so far away because maybe some of the patrons of the park wouldn't connect me with the two crazy guys, standing on the roof of a car, trying to get a kite down.  :)

Joe working hard to get the kite free.

They DID get the kite free and it lived to hopefully see another windy day at the park.  Max and I had a fun time watching.  It was certainly an eventful first visit to the park in 2012!
