Kite Flying Brings out the Smiles

Kite Flying Fun

While yesterday’s Kite Flying adventure ended in a polar plunge, today’s ended in smiles. Smiles were huge because of some very successful kite flying action. Andrew ended up flying Eva’s Turtle kite up to the end of it’s string. Eva flew my Ninja Turtle kite up to the string’s end as well. We had a great time watching them play and the smiles were huge on the kid’s faces. They loved the success that they experienced.

Today’s fun was about playing with some new toys, going swimming and enjoying our favorite pizza on the Cape.

As for the toys we played with some of the Tonka Climb-Overs and also the new Sky Viper HD Video Drone. Eva and I went over to the beach first thing in the morning to try flying the Sky Viper. I did not do very well. I crashed quite a few times and even broke a propeller. I replaced that but now I can’t get it flying anymore. I’ll have to fix that soon.

We had better luck with the Tonka Climb-Overs 4X4 Motorized Vehicles. The kids and I did a full review on those toys.

After lunch we went swimming at a pool around the corner. The kids had a great time swimming and jumping in to the pool. We had to talk to Andrew quite a few times and he’s not that strong a swimmer but doesn’t recognize that he’s not a strong swimmer. We keep right on him, though.

Dinner was over at Paul’s Pizza and it was delicious. It is one of the only places that has been exactly as good as it was when I first came to the Cape in 1981.

Eva was all smiles as she drove the Starfish, a boat that we took on a cruise on the Bass River. Bass River Cruises was a nice trip from Rt. 28 to the mouth of the Bass River in Dennis/Yarmouth, MA. We went on the cruise with my Aunt Cindy and my Grandmother and her friend. The kids loved the trip. We got to learn about all the houses on the river and who owned them over time and more. The kids even got to drive the boat. At first Eva was hesitant at driving the boat but she warmed up to it and was all smiles by the end. She got to drive a pretty long time, too.

Andrew also drove and he was so excited to drive. He was moving the wheel all over the place. He asked the captain if he could push buttons and turn the key. The captain kept a tight grip on the wheel and a sharp eye on the buttons. Probably a pretty good idea on his part. Continue reading Captain for a Day
