Do you like flying kites?



I think I am going to take the lil one to the park today to fly our kite. Its kind of windy today...

Very cool looking kite! I have tried a hundred times but I cannot get a kite to stay in the air.

We didnt go to the park.. We did it in the street out front instead. It got stuck and a tree and caught up on the power lines. Luckily both times I was able to get it down.



I scared the crap out of the 3 yr old nextdoor. I was just playing around and I was pretending the bird was alive and biting my neck / attacking me. I was screaming and I fell to the ground all dramatic like.. The 3 yr old thought it was really happening and she started crying.. I did succeed in making my daughter laugh but I mortified someone else in the process. lol

She was fine after she saw that I was ok though.
 
Now that was mean Nebulous but funny at the same time

Lmao!! I've always wanted to fly a kite in the store parking lot where I work.
 
I'm probably gonna buy an American flag kite whenever we get to the beach to fly it during the evening whenever we're done swimming and I just want something to do. I flew a kite there last time, but I didn't get it until the last couple of days.
 
It was really windy today so we found some abandoned parking lot and flew the kite..



Took this pic of it up in the air with my phone:

Thanks. We got it so high that it looked like a spec in the sky at one point.

..it took forever to wind up all the string..
 
Same here. Its fun though.

As a kid I always would but I haven't since college, I might get one to do something with the kids next weekend

Cool kite! If I seen something like that in the air, I'd stop and stare at it.
