Kite Day!

Our wonderful Church sponsored a kid's kite day after worship this past Sunday. When we arrived at church, there wasn't really any wind. Between worship and life groups, the wind had picked up slightly, but didn't seem like enough to fly kites. At some point during life groups, God turned on the fan. Eating hot dogs was quite a challenge since you had to hold on to your plate as well. At one point, Larry's plate went flying away, not before hitting me! After Larry, Thomas and I had finished our hot dogs and Hayden had finished his pb&j, it was time to fly kites. However, our boys LOVE to jump, so the bounce house was more appealing than holding a kite string.

We finially convinced Thomas to come fly his Buzz kite. He decided that the tail was easier and more fun to hold.

Daddy could not get him to let go. Have we mentioned that he is STUBBORN?

Thomas decided to go back to the bounce house. Yes, those are bright red crocs he is wearing. I had pulled out his "church sandles". He had other plans. In the end, there are some battles you just have to walk away from.

Poor Daddy, left all alone to fly the Buzz kite!

The boys plus a new friend decided to stop bouncing long enough to watch all the kites in the air. Then, bigger kids started coming in to the bounce house and the boys decided it was time to going kite flying.

It was a great day. The boys had a good time and where actually pretty good at flying their kites. We had one broken string followed by a runaway kite and one big kite tangle that included 3 kites.

I really love our church. I love that they are committed to families and want to work with us as we raise our boys to be men of Christ. For the first time since leaving First Baptist Luling, we feel like we are a part of a family of believers rather than just another member of a church.

Love to all,

Larry, Kori, Hayden and Thomas
