After the Great Kite Incident of ’10, Anya kept asking when we were going to go “choppin” to get a new one. I finally got her one (two actually, so we had a backup), a bit ago, and she was oh-so-very-excited. Turns out the kite I got this time is the super economy model and is about as big as a legal note pad. I also picked up a handle/extra string thing that is (a) purple and (b) heavier and hopefully won’t float away if she drops it. I love the laugh on her face in this picture.
(In the upper left of the picture, you can see one of the two plum trees we planted.)
After Anya was done, Andy flew for a while. He got the kite stuck in a big tree on the other side of the power line, but he managed to free it. I was very impressed and did a little cheer.
Looks like a beautiful day. Green grass. They both seem to be having a lot of fun. Love the springtime!
