Kite flying

With all of this "fantastic" spring weather we have been having, we decided to go fly some kites! (tanner the kite flying master)

There were 6 kids and only 4 kites so kids' patience were tested.

Porter waited patiently for the "Ariel" kite flyer to give him a turn. Ariel kite flyer was not in a hurry to give up without a "flight":)

The "spider man" kite flyer took mercy on Porter and let him fly spidey for a while.

Unfortunately spider man and Ariel got tangled and Ariel got stuck on the light pole. Spider man escaped unscathed.

Ariel kite flyer was not amused with spider man and his kite flying skills!

Wrestling. . . not for the wimpy!

This was RJ's first wrestling match ever! I wasn't sure how he was going to do because he doesn't have a clue that he is supposed to get the other guy on his back and hold him there. (Obviously!). He eventually got pinned by this kid and that event alone taught him more than any talking we could have done.

All the boys did great though and they were a lot of fun (and emotional) to watch. It is hard for me to watch and not get a little teary. (I know it's dumb) But every one of Luke and Tanner's matches were tough wins or losses

and either they were crying or their opponent was crying. So if I wasn't feeling bad for them, I was feeling bad for the kid they wrestled.

They all came away with silver medals so they were happy!
