And those kites wanted to go high too. They were way up there.
Just before our friends got there Max and I had a near tragedy. His kite string ran into mine. My kite nosedived (nosedove) into a grove of scrubby trees and Max's string broke. I had to chase his kite down. Kris dealt with the broken string and I got the fish kite most of the way out of the trees. Kris came and climbed a tree and teased it the rest of the way out. Phew. That would've been a sad and sudden end to our afternoon.
But it wasn't.
We flew
and flew
and flew
and ate
and ate
and played
and played
and it was FUN.
It was warmer than last time--still chilly but warmer.
And by the end we had kites attached to chairs and strollers flying all by themselves. That's the mark of a good kite flying day.
We're going to have to do it again very soon! Anybody else want to come this time?

A kite park! No way! Alas....we do not have a kite park....
Looks like you had a wonderful time. As always, we wish we could've been there. Thanks for sharing it with us.
Love you
Dad
Yes. I would like to come, please.
And Rachel - yes we do. The Fort park. That's where we used to do it. Before the skatepark and the ball diamonds. So under those things, there is a kite park
Looks like the perfect outing. i did really like that kite park. We saw amazing kites there.
I want to come next time too. When I was little we had a really cool, long, dragon tail kite. We never really got it to fly. And then it broke. So . . . regrets.
