Let's Go Fly a Kite (Part 2)

This post is also known as 'The Toy Store'

So, after we bombed on kite flying round #1, we decided to abandon kite #1 and look for a replacement.  We headed down to our local toy store, Jake's Toy Box - a fabulous store with an even more fabulous story.  Of course they had exactly what we were looking for - a sturdy, colorful frog kite (Daddy took one for the team and let CP choose.  He really wanted the spaceship, but let the little guy pick).


While we were there we had to let Caden play with all of the toys.  He loves Jake's Toy Box and could spend hours there.  He especially loves the train set - chug-a-chug-a-choo-choo!


Seriously, the toy store is even better (and cheaper!) than the rec center.  Eventually we did leave with our kite (and no tears!)

We had to wait until after nap time to try flying kite #2.  And wouldn't you know it?  No wind!  We tried anyway

Well, JZ tried.  Hard.  He ran and ran and ran.  Caden and I blew on the kite from a far, but mostly he did this

And I sat

Our kite flying adventure was kind of a bust, but we had a lot of fun trying.  And the good news is we're ready for the next windy day

Sing with me now...
Let's go fly a kite
Up to the highest height
Let's go fly a kite
And send it soaring

Up through the atmosphere
Up where the air is clear
Oh, let's go fly a kite

You know you've been singing Mary Poppins this whole time too!
