Let's go fly a kite...up to the highest height...

Friday at cub scouts we had a kite derby. They boys made their kites out of newspaper and brown paper bags. Some of them did better than others. Yesterday Russell helped Michael make a different kite out of a plastic garbage bag to see if it would fly any better.

Russell is adjusting the tail - not sure if it's too light or too heavy. Kite flying is a science experiment I am finding out! The boys loved it though.
Holding it for Michael while waiting for the perfect breeze. It came in spurts - which makes for a not so fun kite flying experience - but the anticipation of a wind coming keeps them at it.

It came! Michael is flying his kite! (Even though the thrill lasted for a few seconds - until the next wind came along!)
Donovan even made himself a kite from Michael's book. The wind isn't helping him much.

Let's go fly a kite...
Up to the highest height...
Let's go.....
Fly a kite!

I think this was in 2004. It was Nephi's first trip to the beach. The boys were all so little! My have they grown.

Meet the Parents...Russell and Candace
It all started for us when Russell left for Cape Town South Africa on a mission. Candace felt inspired to write him - so she did! We wrote for 3 1/2 years. Candace came home from her mission to the Texas Houston East Mission and we dated for 5 months. We married in July 1994 and have been happy ever after!
