Dave and I bought a kite! It was just a few bucks at Walmart, and we've already got quite a bit of enjoyment out of it, as you can see below:
Here is Dave, getting the kite ready.
It's a cute fish, and the flaps that move are its fins!
Moving out into the field before it's airborne.
You can just barely see it up in the left corner.
The tail that you can see is a school of smaller fish! Fun!
We had a lot of fun just hanging around and watching it.
Another day we went to Walmart and got some more string to add to the length we already had. But I didn't get any pictures of it higher up because we probably wouldn't have been able to see the kite in the pictures anyway. It was way to high!
And, just for fun, here are the lyrics from the song in Mary Poppins:
Mr. Banks:
With tuppence for paper and strings
You can have your own set of wings
With your feet on the ground
You're a bird in a flight
With your fist holding tight
To the string of your kite
Oh, oh, oh!
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!
Bert:
When you send it flyin' up there
All at once you're lighter than air
You can dance on the breeze
Over 'ouses and trees
With your first 'olding tight
To the string of your kite
Londoners:
Oh, oh, oh!
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
Let's go fly a kite!
