Just laugh

So, this is a bit of a silly post, but I want to share it with you anyways. I was on my way home from work yesterday complaining to Drew on the phone about how windy it was outside (it wasn't raining or snowing, but boy was it windy! At one point I even thought the stop light was going to fall on my car.) when Drew made the mistake of telling me that he had two kites in his basement. I immediately took the first exit I came to and turned around and headed towards his house. Once we decided on the Dolphin kite we jumped into his car and drove down by the river. Now, you're going to have to use your imagination because I forgot to grab my camera,
(this is a replica I found online)
but try to imagine two semi-adults standing up on this hillside near the river, with winds strong enough to blow us over and a blue dolphin kite. I cannot remember the last time I laughed so hard. This dolphin was out of control!! Drew almost took off my head a couple of times with the thing and there was even a point when I felt like I was jumping rope, trying to get away from the string. I, on the other hand, had even less control over the kite. My dolphin looked like a skydiver who forgot to unleash his parachute. He just kept nose diving to the ground. It never got old though - we just kept laughing and laughing at the kite and each other. It was as though we both were 10 years old again - and didn't have a single care in the world. By the time we finished I couldn't feel my toes or fingers and my cheeks had wind burn. At the time though, I didn't even notice because all I could do was laugh...
