Let's Go Fly a Kite

Yesterday was fairly nice and there was just enough wind. The girls found their kites in the garage. They have been begging for a full year. Last spring was not good--newborns and wind are not usually a good mix. Plus, Fairview was somewhat tree lined,which was beautiful but not kite friendly. Yesterday, conditions were perfect, just not in our yard. So we walked to the high school a few blocks away. School is on break and the parking lot was empty and the winds were just right. Peanut's kite used all the string and she ran and ran with it. She really loved handling the kite. I loved this picture of her. You can kind of see Sparkle's success in this photo. She enjoyed the experience, but was slightly apprehensive and got cold.

Tan Man on the other hand LOVED the wide open expanse of the parking lot and went crazy! He was running and running and running as fast as those little legs could carry him.
So that was to some degree the culmination of our spring break. We stayed home. Sparkle just wanted to play with her toys and go for walks. We baked some. We watched some movies. I got down toys they had not played with for awhile. We had playdates. It was a good time. It was cheap. We were happy.

Now. Here is a little game...can you spot what is different about this picture???
