The Beginning

What does the Mopsy have here?






Kites given to her by a friend whose husband brought them home from a business trip to China 15 years ago?  You bet. 

In case you don't know the effect Chinese kites have on children, here's the answer: they make children RUN. 



















 


And what is the result of all these children running with kites?  The answer is tangles and knots, and kite tangles require adult hands to fix them.

Happy birthday, Dad!








At least Jess was a smart girl and stood still while she flew.  One knot spared from the multitude...


 


Simeon was smart, too.  He opted out of the kite-flying in favor of a Pop-pop swing.

  1. Coolest kites ever. (Except when tangled.)

    Jess has some SERIOUSLY blonde hair! I remember how dark she was when she was born...that is awesome.

  2. The best thing about the kites is how they flew with just the lightest touch of air. That might have also been the worst thing about them, given the tangles.
