Flying High

For some time now, Reed has wanted to fly a kite with Maddie.  However, we had lots of trouble finding a kite.  On this trip to Alex City, I found one while Lindsey and I were on a little shopping trip.  This trip was a combination of work and fun.  So after unloading a truck load of mulch in Lindsey and Josh's yard, Nana and Pop headed to the park with Maddie to try out our new kite.  It was an absolutely gorgeous day for it.  Alex City has a super nice park, but on this day it was packed with baseball and softball games, so we had to settle for a parking lot to fly our kite.  It proved to be the perfect place.

Pop is getting the kite ready-

And Maddie is ready to help! 

Up, up

and away!

Just a little trouble with the string.....

After about 45 minutes, she decided it was snack time.  Next,

she began to say, "Bye, bye, Pop." 

 And, she headed to the truck.

So, the kite came down and we headed back

to her house........

This was lots of fun and we can't wait to do it again!

And on a different note-

On our way to visit Josh, Lindsey and Maddie, Reed said to look at the turkeys walking down the road. (We were in Fosters.) As we got closer, we realized they weren't turkeys, but geese. It certainly was something you don't see every day......
