Fun despite failure

Today we visited the most beautiful park I have ever seen. Regent's Park, home of Queen Mary's garden, was enormous with perfectly landscaped gardens covering the almost 400 acres.


After our tour of the gardens we walked over to Primrose Hill for a picnic lunch, with an amazing view of London. Next, was supposed to be kite flying. I was extremely prepared with my Texas flag kite, but the lack of wind made for a very sad attempt to fly it. I've never seen 16 adults so determined to get kites to fly.  Katie, Melissa, and myself were literally sprinting down the hill in a struggle to get them in the air. The only thing that I accomplished was getting my leg tangled up in a string. Despite this failure at such a simple thing we still remembered to enjoy it.  How many people can say they sprinted down England's Primrose Hill with the Texas flag in tow?
