February 8: National Fly A Kite Day

Today, Christopher Henry and I braved the bitter winds of the high-desert to fly a kite. We avoided deer poop pellets and mud piles and by golly, we flew that dinosaur kite.

Christopher Henry decided to mimic one of his idols, and tried to recreate the historic moment when Benjamin Franklin discovered electricity. Christopher Henry donned his raincoat (or rather, he borrowed my dad's raincoat), tied a key to the kite string, and the rest, as they say, was history.

 

Unfortunately, Christopher Henry got the kite stuck in a tree...

But that's ok.

 

We still had fun.
