Let's Go Fly A Kite


It was a perfect day for the maiden voyage of Evan's new space shuttle kite. The sun was shining, the breeze was blowing and we set off to the park. Evan loved watching the kite fly in the sky and took up residence at Jason's side. Norah got the controls and loved it. She ran when it started to come down and got it flying again. The were both amazed watching it dance around in the breeze!

Mission Control


Evan didn't quite get, "Don't let go!"



Assisted by his co-pilot



Initital training



and then off and running!



Just enjoying the view!

Baker's Acres


Oh, the fun to be had at Grandma and Grandpa Baker's house! Lots of room to roam and plenty of love to go around.

While we are there we;

Help in the garden...


and learn to use new tools...


help plant radishes and eagarly wait for them to sprout...



We take the slide instead of walking...


We play in the dirt as much and as long as we want...


and get as dirty as we want...


we learn to drive all by ourselves...


race monster trucks...


We dig  and dig...


for buried treasure...


and Grandpa makes sure...


we find some!


The real treasure is the memories made, kept and tucked away for a lifetime.
Thanks for a wonderful weekend!

Fortune

After enjoying some nice Chinese cuisine, we all opened a fortune cookie and read the fortune tucked inside. This was Evan's- no lie:


Now, try and tell me these things aren't real!
