Nemo's maiden voyage

Julia has been begging to fly her kite for the last fourteen months. Auntie Annie gave her the kite for her second birthday present....and we always forget to take him out of the package until it's either completely still outside (which doesn't happen very often in Duluth), OR there is abundant thunder and lightning outside...an absolute contraindication to kite-flying. Well, Julia tried her hand at flying her Nemo kite last week, and he had an impressive maiden voyage!

Squish and I watched from the sidelines until Nemo decided to take one of his inevitable nose-dives into the gravel. Julia didn't quite grasp the concept of "keep tension on the line" just yet. Maybe that'll be next week's lesson.


Hmmmm...how did the water get all over the front of my shirt!?!?
