Flying a Kite

We were in IL at my parents over Easter this year - and on Saturday afternoon we enjoyed a beautiful day outside with family. Before everyone came for dinner that evening, we got out Gavin's Toy Story kite and started out with Daddy/Gavin flying the kite - to Grandpa - to Grandpa/Gavin - and then - yes, that is Gavin flying a kite by himself. Let's just say it was pretty windy that day.
The story "after" this photo was Gavin eventually got tired of holding the string to the kite and was done - so like any kid would do, he thought that if he put the string holder on the ground, it would come down and he would be done. He did that - and the kite of course flew away... so daddy to the rescue out in the fields to get the kite. Gavin running behind him and ending up in a big mud puddle - which freaked him out! (yes, this is my child!). Now where was Grandpa again? Not quite sure - but Daddy had the kite and Grandpa had Gavin as they came into the house to share this story. So now when you ask Gavin - do you want to fly a kite? "It will fly away Mommy...."
