We started off just going for a walk around the neighborhood. We noticed that the milk weeds at the dead end are starting to grow. We plan to watch them all summer for monarch caterpillars. But anyway, we were surprised at how windy it was. Alison was asking what we were going to do when we got home and I decided to just pack up and head to the park for some kite flying fun.
On the way I warned her that I've never been good at kite flying so not to be too disappointed if we couldn't get it to work. But we had success.This is Alison's favorite picture from today because "My kite actually touched the sky."
I also figured out an alternative use for Ian's shopping cart cover. It was sooo windy today that it was a bit much for Ian. I figured out though the shopping cart cover provided much needed wind protection while still letting him see everything. He really seemed to like his little cave. I used the seat belt to attach it to the frame of the stroller just in case it blew off, but the elastic held tight. It looks crazy, but it worked really well. Plus it kept the sun off him and out of his eyes.
When we got home, Ian was sleeping in his car seat so Alison and I worked in our flower beds for awhile. Our columbines are blooming. Alison is very excited!
Whew! That's it for today. But we have more fun planned for later this week...stay tuned...

The kite flying looks so fun! I love Allison's comment about the kite touching the sky; she's right! We love the soundtrack from Mary Poppins - it's in my car right now, though I decided that it was time for the Sound of Music today after a week of it.
Ingenious use of the cart cover!
