{a sight to see}

it happened today and i still cannot believe it - it truly was a sight to see. the boys and i were outside enjoying the warm sunny day and we decided to take advantage of the wind. so, we got the gigantic kite out - a blue angel plane kite to be exact.

well, after losing the kite to probably the tallest pine tree on our farm and then losing the other end of the string to that same tree, i thought it was over. however, the gusts of wind blew the kite down and later amazngly we were able to get the twine back down to the ground. we launched it again and as i was trying to get out of the tree area and keep the boys who were BEYOND excited out of the way of the twine, i kept seeing something out of the corner of my eye. finally, it dipped down low enough to the kite........a bald eagle. unbelievable! he stayed around very curious of the kite for about 10 minutes or so and flew off. it just never ceases to amaze me when i see one. and, the boys were just afraid he was going to attack their kite! :)
