Let's Go Fly A Kite

Cold and windy Saturday afternoon is the perfect time to fly a kite.

I was dressed in my Emu boots and long winter jacket appropiately to enjoy the kite flying.

Other than Jethro's-kite-almost-flew-away-by-itself-because-the-string-holder-slipped-off-his-hand-and-the-wind-started-blowing-the-kite-away incident
(thanks to Raymond's handy-dandy slippers, we were able to retrieve it from the tree),
and the occasional kite landing on the grass,
and the tangled strings, and the flies everywhere

it turned out to be a real fun time with the kiddos. 

Let's go fly a kite

Up to the highest height

Let's go fly a kite

And send it soaring

Up through the atmosphere

Up where the air is clear

Oh, let's go fly a kite

Let's go fly a kite!

Feed the birds, tuppence a bag

We are loving this great bird feeding park about ten minutes away from our home.

Very cheap parking fee, no entrance fee required, plus lots of things to see
(and do if you use your imagination as seen here
---Jethro trying to copy everything his big brother does)

We've visted this park about three times already and this is the first time we walked around the trail.

It was a long walk but a very nice, scenic walk indeed.

And, Jakob and Beata got to feed birds for the first time

(didn't get a picture of Beata, though because she moved right away fearing that she might get biten)

This is one nice (and did I mention cheap?) activity for the whole family

...not to mention the exercise we get from walking.
