Holy Toledo, It's Flying...

Josie showed a lot of interest in a kite at Ault Park last week, so we decided to walk down to The Freedom Center one afternoon for a little family kite flying by the river. Here is the sequence of events -

Who knew the kite would be so much fun just getting set up?Here it goes - The answer to the question, "Do you think Josie can fly it?" Yes!


Correction...Maybe Not!


And here is our beloved kite flying itself over the Banks Project where it got tangled in some bushes.
So, on one final note, I'll be totally surprised if anyone knows the obscure movie quote in the subject line, but I couldn't resist the urge. "Holy Toledo, It's Flying..." always pops into my head when I see a kite, probably because I watched the movie "Electric Grandmother" at least 50 times growing up. (Does anyone else remember that? Manda?)

I remember that movie too! I always wanted to be able to pour juice and milk out of my fingers like she did, so cool....at the time. I've got the milk now, just not out of my finger ;)
