Let's Go Fly a Kite

Today is the first day of our Chuseok holiday (the Korean thanksgiving).   This year, Jarrod is off work until Thursday, so we are looking forward to rest, recovery from illnesses, and playing in Seoul!
We kicked off this holiday with a trip to Kim's Club to buy Chuseok gifts, a treat at Dunkin' Donuts, and a stop at the Han Riverside Park by Banpo bridge to play at the playground and, yes, fly a kite!.
This was Marc's first time seeing a kite in person -- he kept saying "like Woody, like Woody" (we have perhaps watched Toy Story 3 a few too many times.. ;) 
 He was delighted with Jarrod's demonstration and enthusiastically cheered on his Daddy!
 Then it was Marc's turn... and he was a natural!
 I am not sure who was more thrilled, Jarrod or Marc... :)
 The sun was a bit bright, so Jarrod put some shades on Marc to help him out...
...and make him look SO stinkin' CUTE. (perhaps not the motive but a great byproduct)

 Let's go fly a kite, up to the highest height...
...let's all go... fly a kite!

Long after we put the kite away, just before bedtime, Marc asked to fly the kite again. There will most definitely be repeat performances this Fall... probably tomorrow.
