Let's Go Fly a Kite

Mary Poppins is one of our family's favorite movies. The girls will actually sit and watch the whole almost 3 hours of it. Actually, they get up, run around, sing and dance a lot while they watch it. Kaitlin knows almost all of the songs and Kiersten sings along too, just using her own "words." Their favorite song is "Let's go fly a kite." Kaitlin got a kite for her b-day in July, but we haven't had a chance to go fly it yet. Then, a couple of weeks ago, the wind was PERFECT. Even Kaitlin and Kiersten had no problem getting the kite into the air. And, yes, we did sing "Let's go fly a kite" the whole time(:
Kaitlin loved running back and forth across the field. The wind was strong enough that she had to work pretty hard.

Kiersten loves her daddy so much. She always brightens up when he's around and she definitely obeys him better than she obeys me.

This is a field in front of the elementary school just a few blocks away from our house. I love being together as a family!

Here we are on our way to the field. The residents in Brandon's program all pitched in and bought us a Sit-n-Stand stroller that actually fits all three kids (and a dog). I just strap Dallin's car seat in the front, have Kiersten sit on the bench and Kaitlin stand on the foot rest. It really makes it so much easier to go from point A to point B. Otherwise, the kids decide to scatter or just refuse to walk. It also folds up pretty well and has been a lifesaver for me.
