After the party Michelle took a short little nap but that didn't dim the memory of an excited 6 year old boy! So when Michelle woke up she let me know about her deal with David. So out came the kites and off to the park we went (I love that the park is just on the other side of our fence!). Since we haven't flown kites during our entire married lives it took a few tries to get the kites up in the sky. After several attempt we discovered that some wind (or at least a gentle breeze) aids in kite flying. If there isn't any wind a run around the park can simulate a breeze.
We did manage to get the kites flying and Donovan and David were tickled to be able to fly the kites all by themselves. The only sad part was that the breeze was so mild that the kite flight was only a few minutes. But now that we've been successful we can do it again.
Hopefully Michael is feeling better the next time we fly kites so he can enjoy the experience too.
