go fly a kite



It was almost bedtime last night, and the boys and I were in the living room hanging out when we heard a voice from the back of the house call out a hello. The boys raced back to my office to find ... Uncle J. Oh, the excitement! The jumping and barking and screaming with joy! The dog was pretty excited, too.

But wait, it gets better. As if a surprise visit from their hero wasn't enough, J brought them kites! So off we went to the big field behind the school to try them out, lack of wind and impending bedtime be damned. They got a couple of good flights, too, along with a LOT of running around. There were collisions, tangled strings, and frustrated exclamations, but the boys don't even remember them today. Go ahead, ask them about their night. But you might want to protect your ears first from the piercing shrieks of UNCLE J TOOK US TO FLY KITES AND IT WAS SO AWESOME AND WE JUST LOVE HIM SO MUCH. Seriously, don't say I didn't warn you.
