An unexpected (stranger) friend introduced Lincoln and our family to flying kites at the park a few weeks ago. Linc can talk of nothing else so he's lucky that the Easter Bunny put a kite in his and Beau's basket last Sunday. It's been rainy or not windy for the last few nights, but tonight we busted out the kite and gave it a trial run. As long as he would run through the yard holding the string up, the kite would stay airborne. I was having a bit of difficulty with explaining when to let the string loose. First run . . . no worries! (Beau might be chewing on the soccer goal in the background of this picture, but there's no judging allowed!)
Look at all the air he got on that one! Linc ran all the way from our neighbor's yard to the far side of our yard. He was rewarded with a bit of flying time! He loved it!
Beau was in charge of the bubble machine for most of the evening. He loves to push the buttons and soak in the bubbles! He chase Lincoln and the kite a few times but always went back to the bubbles! (Perhaps I should retire any shirt when his belly peeks out! Just a "note to self" moment!)
We kept on flying the kite for what seemed like hours . . . well, at least until it got dark. Linc is in love with this new activity. I think I'm on board because it's cheap, promotes exercise, and requires no travel. 
Bring on the wind! It's time for Kuhlman Kite Flying Season!
