Things I Learned Today

1. You need a lot more wind to fly a kite than I realized.






2. Gusty wind is really bad for kite flying.






3. A kite flying trip where the kite only gets off the ground every once in a while is still considered really cool if you are 4 years old.






4. 2 year olds would rather chase and tackle the kite than try to fly it.






5. 4 year olds think that grabbing the tail of a kite and pulling it to the ground is almost as cool as flying it.






6. Dogs and kite flying can mix, as long as the dog is Diamond.






7. I shouldn't try to run the length of a football field with Lauren on my back.






8. Kids love to watch their mom run the length of a football field (no Lauren) with a kite flying behind her.






9. I am out of shape.






10. Don't let your kids play in the paint on the soccer field without making sure it is dry. Definitely don't allow headstands.
