The Kite Got Stuck in a Tree
This was a matter of when - not if. We all knew that.
It had to happen.
The kite got stuck in a tree.
About 3pm little Carson came over to play and then a few minutes later I get a text message from BW:
I tell her where it is and then she replies that she sent them outside with the kite and the wind to play - and that it is awesome - and it is.
Then about a half an hour later:
That sounds about right. Give two silly kids a kite on an unseasonably warm April afternoon and a bit of wind in an older tree-filled neighborhood and you get — the end of the kite.
There was apparently a bit of disappointment that I missed - but not much.
BW tells me that for a good half an hour or so two best friends played and screeched with joy with a kite in the air with just a string and some wind.
No TV, no video games no constant stimulation - just a cheap kite from the dollar store on a perfect spring day and a good friend to help you get it flying in the air.
Does it get much better than that?
I don’t think so.
Until Next Time,
TH and Co.




I'm having visions of Charlie Brown and Lucy now.... Lol
You are right, this is how childhood should be, not inside all day looking at a screen. Time for another trip to the dollar store 🪁
