Saturday was a gorgeous day, sunny and warm with just enough wind for flying a kite. Jody bought a kite for Ava several weeks ago and she’d been excited to give it a try. Her excitement grew after she received the Mary Poppins DVD for Easter. So on Saturday we went to the park and flew that kite, up to the highest height. ;) It was a good thing we took advantage of the nice spring-like weather on Saturday, because we woke up to snow on Sunday!
Here are a few pics of Ava, the kite-flyer. :)
As for my “best shot,” I’m having a hard time choosing between these two. Which do you prefer?
Head on over to Mother May I to see what everyone else has in store for their Best Shot Monday posts.
Stumble it!

Oh nice!
Hmm… as much as I think Ava is the cutest, I do like the kite in the sky picture better. ;) It’s more arty I think.

I like the kite, only because it looks so unique and out of the ordinary. Not that Ava isn’t, but that shot almost looks like a real parrot up there. :-) Nice work.

How fun to fly a kite on a lovely Saturday afternoon?! What great shots…like everyone else, I couldn’t possibly pick between them. To me, they are both good for different reasons- Ava’s shot because it is real, adorable, and tells the story so well. The kite in the clouds because it is SO amazing…what a CLEAR BLUE sky and such a colorful kite that you do not expect to see there. Both GREAT shots!

Great photos! I’m glad someone is enjoying all this wind we’ve been having instead of being annoyed by it (like I seem to be!)
