We got a couple of super cheap little star wars kites from Benny's. They were pretty flimsy, but perfect for Max.
Max could just run fast and drag the kite behind him and it was light enough to fly if there was a bit of wind.
We had good wind right at first, and then it kind of pooped out and we couldn't get the kites to stay up anymore. Well, at least we thought the wind pooped out until we looked over to our left and saw some big old "real" kites way up in the air flying away. Oh well.
Kris is cute. We all shared the kites around and took turns flying them--and crashing them into the ground. It was fun.
To be continued....

Kites are very mysterious to me. I don't think I've ever had a successful flight only moments at a time, and then you feel that pull, as if there's something alive on the other end of the line. Magic, but hard won.
The shots are, of course and as usual, wonderful. But the last two - the B&W - I just don't see the way you do to catch these things. Really lovely. Tons of movement and energy, but with a sense of stillness, too. Wonder how you do this. Hmmmm.

thanks for including us

i agree with everything your mom said. I always hated trying to fly kites with the kids because they never seemed to work right and everyone just ended up frustrated. It does look like you managed to have fun though. I love that last pic of Kris. So cool.
The rest are great too as usual.
That last picture of your husband is very cool. Great pictures, it looks like a fun day! I'd be happy to get together for kite flying fun in Newport, OR. :) Right on the coast!
Those are all so cool! I love 'em.
