Let's go fly a kite...

Last night my family came over for a 'family home evening'. It was a blast. We ate yummy food and flew pretty kites on the golf course and then went swimming down at the pool here. Aaron's 'canon-ball' was similar to a tsunami and my mom's backflip off the diving board can't go unmentioned either. I took the camera to the pool but left it in the van. Oops. I only got a few pictures of the kites and a few kids. I was too busy having fun with my family to take pictures. It seems like when I spend the whole time taking pictures I miss out on all the fun family togetherness so I let it go this time-but now I regret not having pictures of the whole thing. Aaron spent almost the entire night in the garage trying to fix our waverunner with the help of my dad. It still won't work and now he wants to "sink it to the bottom of Lake Powell!" The girls and I had a blast flying kites off the green. Macey loved just crawling around on the soft grass. It was so warm yesterday, it was just perfect. Today the weather has turned cold again so I'm really glad we got out yesterday and enjoyed the first really warm day of the year. I can't wait for more!

Here are a few of Dianne's kids flying their kites. Adam, Brigham and Mariah.

This is Olivia's kite. Super pink and girly of course. I actually flew it later on and it went so high I ran out of string. She took a nose dive and got caught on the neighbor's roof. We had to cut it down.

My parents got these kites when they went to China years ago. We've been trying to get together to fly them for a long time and tonight we finally did. Too bad my dad and Aaron were stuck in the garage and didn't get to see them in flight. These eagles were the coolest, especially how my mom took the picture just as they crossed paths and were next to the moon. Great picture mom! Let's do it again sometime!
