Let’s Go Fly a Kite! Although fly­ing a kite wasn’t some­thing I did often as a child, it is still a fun child­hood mem­ory. Work­ing on a project for my pho­tog­ra­phy class and fig­ured that Sat­ur­day was a great day to fly a kite and our back­yard was a per­fect place for it! The boys had so much fun. Their Uncle Josh and Uncle Bear helped them fly their kites. Josh thought his wasn’t high enough so he con­vinced Luke to let him use some fish­ing line. It was so high in the sky, we couldn’t even see it. It took him at least an hour to reel it back in. Logan and Connor’s col­lided and we ended up los­ing Logan’s in our neigh­bors tree…so we are going to have their mon­key of an Uncle climb up and get it!

With tup­pence for paper and strings,
you can have your own set of wings.
With your feet on the ground,
you’re a bird in flight!
With your fist hold­ing tight,
to the string of your kite!
Let’s go fly a kite
Up to the high­est height
Let’s go fly a kite
And send it soar­ing
Up through the atmos­phere
Up where the air is clear
Oh, let’s go fly a kite!
When you send it fly­ing up there,
all at once your lighter than air!
You can dance on the breeze,
over ‘ouses and trees!
With your fist ‘old­ing tight,
to the string your kite!
Let’s go fly a kite
Up to the high­est height
Let’s go fly a kite
And send it soar­ing
Up through the atmos­phere
Up where the air is clear
Oh, let’s go fly a kite!
