First Kite Flying Experience at Irvine Park

A few Christmases ago, Michael got an airplane kite but was too young to fly it. Now that he's a little bit older and knows what airplanes and kites are, we decided that it was a good time...not to mention we've been having incredible warm days this winter!

First we had to assemble the kite. It was easy as pie!

Well not that easy. Everytime we tried to launch it, the plane would flip upside down. It turns out the wing rods were flipped!

Michael wanted to wear his jet shirt to match his kite. He likes to pick out his outfits and makes sure his clothes match.

After a slight adjustment, the kite was up in the air.

Way to go Michael!

Afterwards we played in a nearby playground and went for a hike.

He's become quite the naughty kid...he thought it would be funny to throw rocks at the ducks. =(
