Let's Go Fly A Kite

A while back Addison and I had were watching a program on the Disney channel about a little boy and his dad who went to fly a kite.  It looked like so much fun, so this morning Kevin and Addison went to Toys R Us this morning and picked out a Thomas the Tank Engine kite.  While they were gone, Harry and I packed up a little picnic.  Off the the open fields of Burghley House we went to fly our kite and nibble on some sandwiches. 



Addison looooved flying her kite and she did a pretty good job holding onto it. Harrison mainly enjoyed the sandwiches from lunch.
























Also that day the Burghley Horse and Pony Club were having riding competitions, so we had to go over to see the horsies.  Addie and Daddy had a pretty fun time watching the little girls jump the gates with their ponies and then with their doggies.  Kevin and I were pretty impressed on the little riding outfits and such some of the kids were wearing.  Horse riding is a pretty serious sport over here so they do start them young.  Wondering when Addie will start asking for her own horse...seems that all kids ask for one at some point in their childhood.
