KITE FLYING SEASON






When our kids were still in Cebu, they would tell us about flying kites.  They made their own kites and would have a great time at the shelter flying them.  They would have "kite fights" to see who would have the last flying kite.  There is an art to flying kites, and Romeo and Rodrigo know how to do it.  

We went to the playground after school today to fly kites.  I didn't think that there was enough wind to be very successful, but evidently I was wrong.  The boys got their kites in the air with very little effort and watched them fly around for maybe 30 minutes.  What a great activity!  Romeo was definitely the master kite flyer and Rigo was the grunt man.  "Run, Rigo, run!!  Throw it up!!  Run!  Faster!!!"  Poor little guy.  He didn't seem to mind though.   He did just what his big brother told him to do!  I wonder if it will always work that way!?

That is so cute! Have you ever seen the movie "The Kite Runner" (or read the book)? Sad, but an amazing story...
