Up in the Air

One thing I especially love about our house is the park that sits behind it. It comes alive in the spring with people walking their dogs, hanging with their kids or playing sports. I was mesmerized earlier this week by a parent and child that took advantage of a sunny, windy afternoon to fly a kite there. What a neat -- and quite beautiful, from my vantage point -- thing to do together.

It must also be quite fantastic to witness a kite festival. I know this great Flickr photo of the Austin Kite Festival has my interest piqued.
