It was a beautiful day....


to fly a kite today! Elijah has been going on and on about flying a kite since June when Kiki was here and gave him a kite and then later when Uncle Bill visited he told him next time he came to town he would fly a kite with him. So, since June Elijah has been asking if Bill is coming today and if he could fly his kite today. My continual standard answer was "not today". Well, then on Tuesday a mystery package arrived for Elijah from Uncle Bill followed by a phone call a few days later that he would be in town this weekend and Saturday they were going to fly the kite!

It was not the best day to fly a kite the wind was low & it was 100 degrees out but Elijah did not know any different. Cookie and Uncle Bill were able to get the awesome Red Barron box kite up several times and Elijah was thrilled to pieces. He had the best day today and when putting him to bed tonight he wanted to know when was Uncle Bill coming again to fly a kite because he loves him!!!! Too sweet I know!!!

It looks like a great boys day! Awesome! Elijah and his comments are fantastic. I bet Bill loved to hear that Elijah was looking forward to seeing him again.
