Family Night and Flying Kites!

 In Morgan's class at school, they have the opportunity to earn "class dollars".  Morgan has become pretty darn wealthy in that class.  The other day she brought home a kite that she bought from "store".  She then BEGGED us to let her fly it.  Seeing as we live around some pretty nice electrical poles, we thought we'd find a nice, open field to try it out.  On our way out the door I remembered that we actually had 4 kites from the Easter Bunny (from 2 years ago) that we never have used.  So. We decided that we'd make a "Family Night" out of it, and drove to Kaysville to their "castle park".  The kids were thrilled.  I, of course, brought along my camera and stalked my kids the entire time.  

It was fun hanging out with the family, in the nice, warm weather.  I love my little kids and I have a wonderful husband that doesn't get TOO upset when I decide to take pictures the entire night instead of running around with kites for our kids.  

Here are my favorites from that night.  You'll notice that Morgan's past the 'candid shot' stage and is now into the 'hey Mom, take my picture doing THIS!' stage.  Don't you love the rock climbing photo?  So not posed.

So these are the photos of our kids doing what they do best.  

Play.

typical Morgan shot...

 

yes, she IS that crazy.  Grace, we love you.

 

and of COURSE I brought my lens that I'm still practicing with....

Lilah and I had a blast sitting together.  (at least I did...)

 

Gage.

Creder...

 

 As soon as the kite flying began, this is what the boys did.  Can you tell Crede's a little ticked off that he's WAITING for a kite to use?  Chance will also love me dearly for posting this one of him though.  He had a blast getting that Little Mermaid kite in the air.

Aaand the ONLY tree in the field found Crede's kite.  Aw well.

 Here's another example of  "Hey MOM!  Take a picture of me doing THIS!"

That bottom photo of Gage and Lilah melts my heart.  I love that he loves her and wants to give her hugs ALL.  THE.  TIME.
