Kites

Okay... The weather has been amazing and I LOVE IT!!!!!.... I blossom on sunny days.  My entire attitude, behaviors, outlook on life just changes.  It's unreal!  But I was at the park on Saturday and Sunday, running, reading, and playing catch by myself (which by the way is an excellent interval workout for speed) when I noticed parents flying kites with their kids.  At first I thought.. aww that's sweet.. but then I really started to pay attention to the interaction taking place.  The parent was flying the kite... the kid was out in the middle of the field...  Why was the kid in the middle of the field.. easy.. so when the kite crashed the kid was there to pick it up for the parent.  Granted every time the kite came crashing to the ground the child would pick it up and help drag it back to the parent to get it started again.. and each time say..  "let me try... can I do it?"  the parent would say, "oh it's not right yet.. the wind is to strong.." or some other excuse.  

They were having a good time.. and the parent didn't even have to move.
