Let's Go Fly a Kite

I was such a rebel, I came home an entire 45 minutes early today (gasp). It was a warm and windy day today (between snow storms), so I decided to take the kids out to fly the kites that Aunt Fran had given them for Easter. Liam had been chomping at the bit to try out his kite. Usually, when we ask/tell Liam that we are going out - Liam's tendancy is to not want to transition, and he usually wants to stay at home, but he was so excited to go - we got out of the house faster than I can remember. However, when we were walking down to the car, Liam asked if there would be a ceiling - I finally understood that he was a little scared because of Curious George's experience with his kite and flying into the sky. When I told him it couldn't really happen, he was quickly satisfied.

Chris was planning on going to the gym, but it turned out to be such a great family outing that he ended up joining us. We headed over to the Cambridge Common. Liam had a blast. It wasn't that windy, but Liam was able to run around and have the kite fly - such a wonderful, simple time. We then headed to the park on the commons before heading home to make pesto for dinner. I love cooking with the kids. Sigh, but then had to jump back into the car and head over to my MITclass - which is going on right now...
