Steve and I had planned to go to Harpers Ferry today, but when he saw how windy it was, he decided that we needed some kites.
He took Mei Li and Stephen to find the kites while I got ready and fed Mi Na. Fives stores and two hours later, he brought home the last two kites in the county. Joe Jonas and Demi Lovato adorned the first, and the other was in the shape of sunglasses.
We drove to Harpers Ferry and enjoyed the beautiful views on the way.
We parked and found one open grassy area for kite flying. The sunglasses kite was a dud, but the other caught the wind very well.
It was magical for the kids to fly kites for the first time, and it was magical for me to watch them fly kites for the first time.
Stephen liked it, but he was very tired so he stopped to eat some snacks. Mei Li was obsessed. She did it over and over again. I don't know how long we were flying kites, but we enjoyed every second.
We walked around Harpers Ferry after kite flying. We loved looking at the old buildings and reading signs and plaques. Then we headed home. Steve and the kids took the kites out once more before bed. It was a really lovely day.
