When turtles fly….

 

I took a road trip with my BFF, Annie, yesterday.  We hit the road and had lunch at Anita’s in Wickenburg, cruised through Congress Junction, climbed (in the car) Yarnell Hill, breezed through the town of Yarnell and then spent lovely hours in the Kirkland – Skull Valley area.  We did end up finally making it to Prescott and (of course) The Gurley Street Grill for sweet potato fries!!!  Just on the edge of Prescott is Watson Lake and there’s a very nice park there.  It was a breezy day and the kids were out with their kites.

Brian, this is the one I should have saved “Kowabunga” for, huh?  My son, David, loved The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and I kinda think you might have liked them too. :)

This one looked so beautiful in the sky.

I so wished I didn’t have a cast on my foot!  I would have been right out there with the kids flying a kite.

Catching up with posts and I see a wonderful series here... The flying turtle is so amusing... And the landing on water is a magnificent capture!
God bless you!

It's not everyday day that one can see a turtle in the sky!
Enjoying the view is not always negative.
Lovely colors!

Beautiful kit photos! I would have loved to join you for lunch at Anita's. I haven't been there since my good friend sold his cabin in Yarnell. When I'd join him on a weekend at the cabin, we'd always stop at Anita's for dinner or lunch.

That's a brilliant kite! Makes me hum the end song of Mary Poppins!

I LOVE the turtle kite! My girls would just die!

Sounds like you had a wonderful day. Glad you're able to get around some and enjoy life, Gimpy.
