One of the simplest pleasures in life is flying a kite, no matter what age you are.
Last year, we bought our little granddaughter Avery a Dora the Explorer kite and she was so excited learning how to fly it.
Here are some pictures I captured of her first "kite flying adventure."
I wouldn't take anything for that look of pure joy on her little face.
Yesterday, Avery asked me when it would be time to fly her kite again, and I told her as soon as it's windy enough. It's supposed to be a beautiful day here today, so perhaps Dora and Avery will get to "explore the skies" again.
And speaking of exploring the skies, it seems that kite-flying is a serious sport in some parts of the world. Take a look at these photos of some beautiful kites I found the Internet.
My favorite is this ship kite. Isn't it amazing!
I would love to see one like this in the air ...

Avery is so beautiful, and she's so pretty in her pink. Hope y'all have fun flying kites today. We don't have any wind yet here in Brookhaven.

what a fun memory....your Avery is so cute...
My Girlie-Girl and I had a cuddly time just now, as I showed her the kites, and how a "big girl" holds tight to the string so it will fly right and not fly away.
We'll go let her pick out one this weekend, I think, and I hope the wind stirs, because she'll be ready to rip open that package the minute we leave the store.
