Good Weekend

We had a great weekend! Saturday was such a gorgeous day out in the afternoon that I planned a little mystery trip to the park. There is this great park in Dalworthington Gardens that we've NEVER been to and it's stupid because it is literally down the street from our house. We fed the ducks at this little lake/big pond area. There were a bunch of different types too. There was a newly built platform/dock area and a big bag of bird seed sitting there. I had brought some old bread that was more fun to throw...but it was fun.

We then went over to the big grassy area and tried to fly our kite. It was windy and we (okay, Bryan) did get it up in the air a few times as proven by this picture below.But....this is mostly what it looked like. It spent more time on the ground, I think. Now, the kite flying was not necessarily our idea. See, Brennan always has ideas of what he wants to do when I pick him up from school. Some of them are doable and some are just a little too grand to pull off after school. On Friday, he told me he had an idea to build a kite. I said, "oh, we've got paper, glitter, markers, glue, etc....you can make a great picture of a kite!" "No, Mommy, I want to build a kite. I need material, sticks that make a little "t", string, and ribbons." Okay, how the kid knew what to build a kite from, I had no idea....but, bottom-line - I didn't know how to build a functioning kite. So, the idea just kind of got dropped until I remembered we owned a kite. So, that's where the kite flying idea came from.

We then spent some time on the playground before the sun set. It was a really nice evening. And when Brennan said it was like 3 mystery trips in one...I realized I could scale down my idea of a mystery trip and he'd still be excited!
