More Kite Fun, and the Park

The day after Easter, in between the rain showers, the kids wanted to do some more kite flying.  The kids in the area were back in school, so we were trying to be careful of cars and school buses in the neighborhood.  You can see that it rained off and on during our visit, which our drought babies enjoyed!  This was when the rain was "off."







John needed some house repairs while we were there.  Jeff was able to help with little things.  I can't remember what was needed at this point - whether something was stuck on the roof or a shingle was out of place or what - but Jonathan was up there helping without fear.  I can't believe he's old enough for that, but I'm so happy he didn't get my fear of heights (even though he claims it sometimes.)

On one day of our visit, Jeff went fishing with his dad and I took the kids to a park.  Not everyone is used to having kids around all the time, and we recognize that!  (Hailey and Brianna and their parents were on the drive home by this point.)  We went to this park that doesn't seem to get a lot of use, both because kids were in school and this town has a rather aged population.  Here are some pictures, out of order, of course!
This is what humidity does to my beautiful girl's hair.  Waves!  We have to travel out of our home state to experience it.


This park had a playground...and a pond!  With lots of turtles! And ducks!  And more turtles!  The kids loved it.


More humidity.

They loved the pond, and it was good for everyone to have a little space for a few hours.
