lets go fly a kite

On Friday all of the third graders who passed their reading goals this year got to go to the park for a couple of hours to fly kites and play. So Ryker, Avynlea, Rylee and I met Kenedy at the park to partake in the fun!
Kenedy's teacher bought all of her kids little kites to fly and Kenedy got this cute Barbie one. She tried it out and couldn't get it to do much so she said that Barbie must be afraid of heights and then gave it to Avynlea to use. Avy tried it out and then decided she would rather play on the playground and gave it to me to put away.
My friend Heidi was their with her boy, James, and she let Ryker use the kite Mrs. Olson bought for James because she brought his own from home. You should have seen Ryker with this kite! He spent almost the entire two hours we were at the park flying this kite. He really was quite the pro. Can you see his kite flying so high in the upper right corner. He got so good with it he decided to become tricky and attached the string to his belt loop and walked around like that with his kit flying high behind him. Heidi was so impressed with his dedication and flying skills that she told Ryker he could keep the kite. That was a happy moment and really sweet of her!
Kenedy enjoyed having Rylee to show off and although she did not fly kites she had a lot of fun playing kickball and then walking around with her friends, Hannah and Natalia!
Rylee tried to have a turn with the kite but it wasn't working for her!
It was a beautiful day to spend at the park!
