#21 - Fly a kite in the park with my daughter

My first goal is complete!!

Did you hear that?

I almost forgot that I actually tracked this as one of the 101 Things I wanted to do until I re-read through my list today. And lo and behold, I did add it to my list and now I get to mark it as complete.*
I had to stop by the toy store last week to pick up a present for a birthday party we will be attending this month. It was a beautiful, sunny day, and I thought it would be a perfect day to go to the park with TemTem. I asked if they had any kites in stock, and we got a nice little one for $10.

Unfortunately, we had other errands to run that day and nap time was a must, so we never made it to the park. So this past weekend we made sure to head to a nearby park and test out our purchase. It was sunny and a little "chilly", but there was a slight wind that was great for a first-time kite flying experience. It was so much fun to watch DH show TemTem how it all worked (for the most part, I was busy trying to get pictures). She was really excited, for about 10 minutes that is! Then she had no more interest in flying a kite and wanted to run off and play.

* The good news is that the kite is in the back of my car and ready for more flights on the next perfect kite-flying day. So although this goal gets to be marked complete, it's not really a "one and done" type of goal. I'm looking forward to many more days like this for all of us. It's so much fun to experience these simple things with my kiddo.
