Steve has a large stunt kite that is a lot of fun for the guys to fly. It is a bit of a handful for us girls, but we took it to the park to see what kind of damage we could do. Our youngest daughter is a little afraid of this kite because it pulls so hard, so she was hoping we could do enough damage that we would have to throw it away at the end of the day. 😏
I tried my hand at it, but after being pulled half way across the park, I crashed and burned.
With a little team work, our daughter was able to get the hang of it, and eventually even flew it on here own.
When we finished our kite flying, it was time to head home so the kids could pack up.
While the kids were here, our daughter's boyfriend had talked about these crazy creatures that live in the desert. They look a lot like big horns, but their horns grow back, instead of curling around to the front. He shot one several years ago in west Texas. As we left town, he looked out the window on our daughter's side of the car, and said "There's an aoudad". We turned the car around and went back to see it. Even with help, we had a hard time finding it, but sure enough, there stood a single aoudad on the side of the hill. How in the world did he see this?
As we drove through the desert on our way to Las Vegas, we were treated to the best sunset of the entire weekend.
After all of the busy days, the silly games, and lots of laughs, the most important thing we gained from this precious time with our daughter and her boyfriend is a renewed sense that our daughter is doing great! She is the happy, confident, and tackling life, and has a great person by her side to do it all with.
As hard as it is to say goodbye, our hearts were happy as they walked away. We will cherish these memories until we get to see them again...soon....Christmas is coming!
