Flying Kites

Tyce's kindergarten class had a picnic and kite flying day the last week in April.  It was so much fun!  It was really overcast and windy, and we were afraid it was going to rain at any minute (it was sprinkling tiny drops every once in a while).  It was PERFECT kite flying weather.

Of course when we bought a kite for Tyce all of the other kids wanted one as well so since they were cheap enough we bought them all one.  It was funny though because I think the only time they have ever flown a kite was a couple of weeks ago when we were in Childress with Gentry's kite.  It must not have been very windy that day because every time I handed Luke his kite string he would take off running (I assumed because he thought that was the only way to get the kite up in the air and flying).  It was definitely windy enough on kite flying day.  He finally figured out that all he had to do was stand there and move his hand every once in a while to get it to fly.

As soon as we started picking up to go home it started pouring down rain!  The timing couldn't have been better!

After we picked up everyone from school that day we took off to the high school to fly kites with Daddy.

Some more fishing fun for April was "crawfishing."  (I think that's a lot easier than saying crawdad fishing.)  The boys are always playing in the water at the high school, and Brock's athletes told him that you could catch big crawfish in them by tying bacon on a string and dipping it in.  They grab on and won't let go.  So Brock took off with the boys!  They had so much fun!  Here is their catch...
 

And of course Luke wanted to eat them so Daddy boiled them up!  Yum!  (Don't ask me though because I did not try any!)  The kids had fun eating them though!
