I had that Mary Poppins song in my head all day as I flew kites with grandkids. We had a blast! I brought the same kite I used last year - the sea turtle kite from Walgreens (99 cents). It is small but always, always get up in the sky quickly, which is perfect for little kids. I also took this same kite to Maui last year and Dave and I flew it on the beach.
We went to the park by Holly's house this year.
Jack got it flying right away:
Lily made it soar:
James was great at it, too!
And you know it's a good kite when even 2 year old Logan can get it up in the air by himself.
James showed us that a true Jedi knight, like himself, can fly a kite while holding a light saber. (I love the true joy on his face in this picture)
I just loved the colors in this photo:
Hopefully we can do this again very soon. The four kids shared the kite without any tears. But I may go to Walgreens and see if they have any more of them. I think I can fork out three more bucks for a day like this one!

So fun! All of life should be accompanied by great songs, at least in our heads. The guy who wrote Mary Poppins recently died. He said that he really did have to take some medicine when he was little. It was bitter, and his dad gave him a "spoonful of sugar" to help get it down. Hence the song.
