PARKS AND KITES

We had wonderful weather this weekend. It was a little chilly - due to the wind - but that proved useful to us so it was fine. We took Hillary to the park on Saturday afternoon. Breanna wasn't interested in going and Connor was at his friends house so it was just Hillary. She loves the park and I had been putting it off for a couple of days so there was no getting out of it. They have put in a really nice playground over by the library so we went there. She was too scared to sit on the swing the right way - but was pretty cute hanging on her belly on it. I told her to smile and she struck her "thinking" pose. I don't know where she's picked this up from but she taps her finger on her face and says "thinking, thinking, thinking". Then she'll stick her finger in the air and say "I have an idea!" She's picked it up from somewhere because she never REALLY has an idea, she just likes to say that.

Later that afternoon we went to fly kites. Again Breanna wasn't interested in going (she is such a teenager) so it was just Connor and Hillary. It could not have been more perfect. Hillary has a pink My Little Pony kite and Connors is Spongebob. Both flew fabulously. Hillary managed to hold on to hers the whole time but Connor had to chase his across the park a couple times. They both had a grand time. I was able to get pictures of Hillary with her kite because she didn't let out that much string. Connor however - let out all 50 feet of string so all I could get was the kite or him - not both.
