# 2, Fly a Kite

While in Canada, I unexpectedly got to complete one of my 26 goals.

Number 2, "Buy a kite and figure out how to fly it," just waltzed right into my lap while on a walk with Leigh-Ann, her Momma, her Grandma and Kody's girlfriend, Miss Halie. I wanted to see the waters of Lake Winnipeg, so we leashed up the pups (Tom and Momma's pup, Ruby) and went on an adventure!

Leigh-Ann's Mom was super awesome and pushed me over bumps and lumps and across the grassy terrain. She's pretty much a SuperMom.

Grandma was the only person without someone/thing to push/walk (Leigh-Ann + Tom, Halie + Ruby and Momma + Me), so she did a bit of exploring along the way. Hidden in the trees, she found, you guessed it, a kite. It was a sad, abandoned little kite with a short string and no handle, but it had heart. Grandma tied the end of the string to her camera  as a makeshift handle (brave!) and handed it to me, thus completeing #2, "Fly a Kite."

Yay for Grandma! That is so awesome, it was meant to be. So... how did it feel?

How did it feel? It was SUPER windy, so it was fighting me the whole time. Actually, funny story: The second Grandma hands me the kite, I say, "I've never flown a kite before!" and the kite takes a TOTAL nosedive into the ground. It was like a Seinfeld moment!

I was no super mom, Violet. I wanted you to be able to see our beach and our huge Lake Winnipeg. It was a PLEASURE!!! :) We had a huge wind storm a couple of weeks ago, and you should see the devastation this did to the shoreline, some areas they lost 20 feet of land, alot of cottages lost land they couldn't afford to.

Love you Violet! :)

watching you experience this was beautiful! Going in the lake together was even even better, "we're alive"!
Love you bud!!
