For our weekly Family Night (on Monday evening) we thought it would be fun to fly kites.  We made that decision on Sunday when it was VERY windy.  Monday evening came and it was perfectly calm.  So it would be fitting for us to pick the most non-windy of days for kite flying.  But we were undaunted.  The weather was absolutely gorgeous.  As it turns out the boys got a LOT of energy out by running with the kites behind them.  And I had a good time taking pictures of them.

And my two favorites…A “Smith family shadow portrait” and the “kite in the big blue sky”

    Love that shadow shot!
    Our family night outing sounds a lot like yours, except that we went fishing and caught nothing but moss. Still it was a beautiful night to be out.

    Very cool photos. Ah ha! I was wondering where all today’s wind came from. Your boys’ prayers were answered 100 fold, just a day too late.
