Let's Go Fly a Kite!

In spite of my grave disappointment that DD failed to fall in love with Mary Poppins (all the film netted was an uninspired "eh"; treachery!), I fully supported DH's kite idea. We spent a lovely afternoon flying several kites. Two dollar kites bit the dust early on, so we decided to invest a few more ducats into a sturdy, durable, fly-able kite. Bonus points were earned for cuteness.

The kite stayed aloft for a miraculous hour before fluttering to the ground. It survived the seemingly hurricane force winds today. The same could not be said of my hair, but I digress. I watched from the relative comfort of a picnic blanket, eating Trader Joe's almonds and finishing the last few chapters of U is for Undertow. Now all I have to do is wait for V. V is for Vengeance, perhaps?
