Go fly a kite!

I impulse bought this 36" nylon kite for $9.99 from Bed Bath and Beyond a few months ago and it was finally the perfect summery windy day to test it out! To be honest, I thought it was going to be bigger and technically it IS 36" from tip to tip, but you know how one's imagination gets carried away!

The kite was delightful to fly and I thought I had $9.99 worth of fun today. Either I'm bad at flying kites or there's something about it that makes it prone to nose diving, because that happened A LOT. The same company, X Kites, makes a 52" macaw, so perhaps a big kite is easier to fly.

Gosh, I sure needed to see this today. I bought a kite a couple months ago and I keep itching to get it out and fly it. It's a bat, of course. :) But that string possibly not being tied at the end of the holder haunts me, so I keep meaning to go through it to make sure.

In any case it's one of those commonalities between us that is a delight to witness. Thanks.
