Susanna and I hang up pictures of the letter of the week (although they are always up for more than a week) around our apartment. Right now we are on K and one of our pictures is of a kite. I don't think Susanna had any idea what a kite is when I made and hung up the picture so I decided to go to Pinocchio's Toys to buy the cheapest kite they sold, and today we took it to Kite Hill at Magnuson Park. I learned a few things from the experience:1) I have no idea how to assemble or fly a kite (I'll have to get some help from my wonderful sister-in-law Miranda who comes from a rich heritage of kite flying).
2) Walking distances that seemed hardly worth mentioning when you didn't have any kids can seem quite long when you have a toddler.
3) Excursions that are in all obvious ways a failure can still be great fun and therefore a rousing success.
