Let's Go Fly A Kite

This afternoon Darren decided he wanted to take Ava to City Park to fly the kite they bought weeks ago. Even though I was still recovering from the stomach flu, I decided to go too and I am glad that I did. I had a great time watching them fly the kite, play soccer, and blow bubbles. And I was able to just lay in the grass on a nice day.

Here is Ava flying her Brobee kite and laughing b/c she kept almost hitting Darren with it. The people walking by would laugh too b/c Ava was laughing so hard. It was a great day for kite flying because it was windy enough that you could throw the kite in the air and it would fly. Although really any day recently in Austin would be good b/c it has been SUPER windy here the last few months!

Ava flying her kite solo...trying to do tricks like her Daddy pretends to do (kind of hard to make your kite do tricks when it is not really a trick kite).

Ava = happy

Darren pulling off one of his many "trick maneuvers." Ha! He made me laugh doing this kind of stuff. I also think it is funny to see a grown man flying a Brobee kite by himself and trying to do crazy things with it. Good times!

Ava, resting & checking out Darren flying his kite. I mean her kite. Ha.

Oh one more thing. Did I mention that I have been going to this park for 2 years now and this is the first time the lake has been anywhere near the park area? Lake Travis has been so low in the past I never knew the park really should look like this. Really much better this way then when I used to come here.
