Let's Go Fly a Kite

On Saturday we walked to Pier 1 on the Hudson River to fly kites and have fun. Riverside Park was holding a special kite-making and kite-flying event and we were flying high at the opportunity to attend.

We got there at just the right time because the sky was already filled with beautiful homemade kites. Once we saw all the kids flying their work, we really got excited.

The boys (all 3 of them) colored the kites and they looked fabulous. Evie had a huge E on his kite (with stars, moons and suns to decorate) and T had a huge T on his kite (with a boat to decorate it).

While Daddy waited in line to get the tails for our kites, the boys and I enjoyed the awesome entertainment. Or should I say, Evie and I enjoyed the entertainment. While we were dancing to the beat of these fabulous drums, Talmage was in the stroller with his hands over his ears saying, "I don't like it. It's too loud!"

And then we flew our kites!

 

And flew them. And flew them. And flew them.

Until Ever let go of his string and his kite fell in the Hudson. He mostly thought it was awesome that his kite was now a boat...phew!

Talmage kept a firm grasp on his kite, and boy did it get high. What a fun day in Riverside park.
