Whimsical weekend

The weather this weekend was beautiful, despite the forecast of rain. It was nice to be able to spend some quiet time with the significant other. The past few months I've had a lot to think about career-wise. This weekend we decided to keep things simple and whimsical. Saturday we decided to go fly kites since there was a decent breeze out and the sun was shining (sporadically).

I have never flown a kite before, and the significant other was thoroughly shocked (maybe a little appalled) so we went out a bought a really cheap kite. (I think it was under $2).

First up was the SO. (Who has flown kites before). Let's see how he does!

Here he is prepping the kite..

Then he gets a running start...

And look! :) He succeeded! Hello kite! How's the weather all the way up there?

Ok, ok. Next it was my turn. (Yikes!). Here's my attempt to getting the kite ready..

I kind of got it to work!

.... I said "kind of"......

But not for long...

Nonetheless, it was still fun and now I can say I've flown a kite! :) This won't be the last time! We broke the kite down for storage and hopefully will spend another nice weekend doing this.
