"Let's Go Fly a Kite"

This has been a really wonderful Resurrection Sunday. We attended early service at church this morning and we sang some of our favorite hymns and you could just hear the rejoicing in the voices of the congregation. I was told the sermon was good, but I was busy in the nursing mothers room with the two boys. (I met some other moms though!) After church we had a lunch made up from several farmer's market purchases from yesterday followed by a truly unhealthy, but yummy lemon cheesecake. Shortly after noon we were on our way to enjoy this perfect weather at Frank Liske park. We really, really like that place! Aaron had bought the kids new kites and the wind was just right. I've never had such luck with kites. Aaron even had our big butterfly kite up rounghly 400 feet! Lots of fun and laughter! After a walk around the lake we saw the paddle boats were operating. Suited up in life jackets we boarded a sparkly red boat built for five. (I wish I had pictures, but my phone was dead at the time.) Aaron and the older two peddled around for a while, but we had no sooner left the dock than we had to turn around. Boating is not Isaiah's idea of fun! Actually, it was the life jacket that irritated him, but the sound of crying was really disturbing the otherwise peaceful lake. Back on shore with a cracker in each hand and he was his jolly self again. :-) It was great to see such family friendly rates. I can't wait to try it again, but we won't ask Isaiah to venture out for some time.
