Let's--Go--Fly--a--Kite!!!



We have been having such great weather lately, and last Sat. was especially nice. A perfect day for kite fly'n!! Rob and our friend Chris decided to try and fly our kite, and I don't know if it was operator error, or the type of kite I bought, but they couldn't quite seem to get it off the ground. (they claim it was the kite, that it was a weird shape, but they don't make just normal diamond shape kites anymore!!)

So, being boys, they took matters into their own hands. First, they tried sprinting down the street with the kite behind them, hoping that would get the kite higher in the sky. When that didn't work, they borrowed Terry's bike, and rode down the street like crazy to get it higher and higher. It worked pretty good, and also gave those of us watching a great show!!

Forgive me for the middle of the video. Rob wasn't paying attention, and the kite got stuck in the tree, and I lost it with my camera. Still a pretty entertaining video though.

I love flying kites!! My dad got me a sponge bob one for my birthday as a gag gift - but it's awesome - practically flies it's self, no running needed.

Looks like y'all had fun though!
