Kite Flying

This spring has brought many new "firsts" for Daniel. We bought him his first fishing pole, which he absolutely adores. Then, Brian found Daniel his first pet box turtle. We have been keeping it outdoors in a big tub and feeding it earth worms, strawberries, and various vegetables.

Daniel's latest first has been his new kite. Daniel loves, loves, loves flying his kite. He can frequently be heard chanting, "Pie kite! Pie kite!" (Translation: Fly kite. His "f" sounds sometimes come out as "p" sounds. Very cute, but it makes deciphering what he is saying somewhat difficult for the untrained ear.)

Above, Brian is getting the kite in the air. Daniel really wanted to do it himself, but he settled for pretending while Daddy did it.

Our fish kite! Isn't the blue sky just gorgeous?

And here is Daniel, finally getting his turn at flying the kite. He did very well and never let go of the string. What a big boy!
