It was extremely windy the other day and I didn’t have too much going, so I told my wife I was going to go fly my new kite that I got for my birthday. She just laughed, but as I was going out the door she asked if she could go with me. We went down to a big field by the school where there is lots of room and I took it out of the package. I forgot to mention that is was a six foot airplane, shaped like a jet! As soon as I launched it it started climbing and climbing and climbing! I was impressed by how quickly it got up in the air! We played with it for probably an hour. Now I wasn’t paying much attention, and the wind was blowing and my wife was saying something, but I couldn’t hear her. So she finally tapped me on the shoulder and I leaned over so I could hear what she was saying. She was saying “look, look!” So I looked over and she was pointing, there were about six cars parked beside the road, watching me fly the kite! As I looked a little closer, one of the cars had some kids in it and they had gotten out and were standing in front of the car, watching the kite. I felt pretty good about that! I flew the kite for probably about another half hour, because I had other things to do. When I finally brought the kite in, the kids seemed kinda disappointed. I don’t think they had ever seen a kite that big! As soon as we get another windy day I hope I’m not too busy because I want to fly it again; it was great!

I LOVE to fly kites! Especially the big ones shaped like animals! So much fun!
