Kite Day 2011

Yesterday, May 12th, was Kite Day. As has been our custom lately, Jeremy made shaped pancakes- kite shaped pancakes. He even made a smiley face pancake to show how happy we were to have kite shaped pancakes.

Then guess what we did. You got it. We went to a local park and... flew kites.

Well, the kids did most of the flying, Jeremy showed the kids what to do, I ran around with the camera, and Jr. Jr. did his usual thing of sleeping in the stroller. There wasn't that much wind, but it was Kite Day, so we had to go kite flying anyway. The kids ended up with plenty of exercise getting their kites up while running.

And from time to time a little breeze would pick up. Enough for the kids to stand still for a few seconds.

It was a good family activity.
