Sara here again! I've been meaning to blog about this adventure for a while now, but I was having technical difficulties. And now that they have been solved, I'd like to share a video with you! Yes, you must watch it. It will make you giggle. Or laugh. Or snigger.
That would be my wonderful evil overlord flying my kite. Pardon my giggling. It was highly amusing to watch. No worries, the kite survived the crash just fine. It's a very sturdy kite that doesn't get much flying because I'm incapable of getting it into the air.
Sadly, I had put down the camcorder by the time Brigid tried to fly it again. She was yelling at it to "Go higher!" Surprisingly, it worked. It was so high that we didn't realize it was dangerously close to some trees. Yep, you know what's coming next. She crashed it into the trees. And yes, that is plural. The string was draped over two trees, and the kite itself was stuck in the smaller of the two. It was rather epic, and was the highlight of my day.
So we decided to try to climb the tree to get it out. We looked like a couple of monkeys, but it was good fun. I could have gotten to the kite, but decided against it, simply because then I would be the one stuck, and, as Brigid so aptly said, "We can't have my lackey stuck in a tree!"
Never fear, the kite is alive and well, rescued by one of the guys working on the elevator in Gunsaulus Hall.
Okay. Okay. How did Brigid end up being an Evil Overlord? Why can't BRIGID be Mom, and I be the Evil Overlord for once? Sheesh.
