Before we did much of anything today, Avery and I went for a bike ride.
Isn't she CUTE???
Deana (bless her heart) woke up sick in the middle of the night last night. Avery has been out of school with Pink Eye (Ketsu Maku En) since Wednesday of this week. Whew!! What a week so far… WELCOME BACK!!!
Today (Saturday) Avery was feeling 110% and Deana was feeling 40%, so Avery and I went to the park with her kite that we bought in November of last year. The forecast for today was windy, so we were hoping the wind would be enough to lift her “spirits”. Her “spirits” by the way had a 74” wing span and needed a 70 mph wind to get airborne…

Seriously…Who designs a kite that needs a hurricane to get airborne?? Avery and I went to a park on the top of a hill (about a half mile from our house) to see if we could get her albatross of a kite up in the air. When we got to the park, there were several people already flying kites that were “normal” size. No one was flying our “oversize” kite size…
After several attempts and one good unintentional tangling with a neighbor kite, we finally got ours in the air.

Whew. Okay, seriously, let’s stop while we are ahead. No? Want to keep going do you? Okay. Two neighbor tangles and one tree climbing experience later, we finally called it a day. (I really did get it tangled in a TREE)
Over all, it was lots of fun and worth it, but we did step on a few toes during the process…

On the way to the park, we saw a home being deconstructed and Avery wanted to take a picture. I guess this is how they make room for new houses. Seemed to be NOTHING wrong with this home before they started tearing it down.
This photo was a pretty cool one that Deana took on the way back to Japan. It is somewhere off the tip of Alaska - notice it is 90% ice...
And Aunt Pat - this photo is for you. Avery grabbed the camera and insisted that she had to take this picture for you. She loves her clock (even if she can't tell what time it is).

I love the HUGE kite and Avery's "wheels." Too cute. I am glad you guys made it back safe and sound. Get well soon Deana!
WOW ~ nice kite! That is really cool. Your story brings a whole new meaning to "Go fly a kite"... lol. Did the de-tangling experiences involve non-english speaking people? That could have been a weird situation, huh? Any-
way, what a fun day for a Dad & daughter & I bet all those other people were jealous or Avery's GIANT kite. I think it's time to teach Avery to take a picture - I would love to see that monkey (you) getting that kite out of the tree...lol!
Thank you so much for your call last night, it truly did make my day. I'm sorry Deana is still not feeling well, tell her to keep her sinuses rinse out with a neti-pot. If she's never tried that, it could help.
Avery, I'm happy that you like your clock. I bet by the time I see you again you will be able to tell me the time.
Much love to you all . . .
I love it! What would have made it even better was a picture of you in that tree trying to get the kite untangled. Looks like you guys had a great day together. Tell Deana I hope she gets to feeling better soon. Love all - Aunt Tessi
I have fond memoried of flying kites in Kansas. Teresa was probably too small to remember it, but it stayed windy all the time in Kansas & there were a lot of empty fields. Avery, I would like to see your kite. It sounds pretty cool. Tell your daddy it dosen't belong in the trees! Nana & Papa
