Kites

Today there was a kite festival in town. It really wasn't much and my wife was out of town, leaving me to play with the kids for the most of the day. I decided it would be advenerous to take the kids tot he park, make kites and see if we could get them airborne.

I took the four munchkins (my youngest is 2) to the park. It looked like a storm was brewing over the mountain but I decided not to heed the warning. A local bank sponsors the event and helps kids make some kites. While in line to make kites it started to rain and rain hard for a short time. The kids were cold especially my girls and at one point wanted to go home. They finished their kites and the storm broke. We headed for the soccer fields, kites in tow. It was a little breezy and I managed to get one kite up after another. At one point, all of my kids had a kite in the air. Then due to slack lines and a sudden calm they all came down. I managed to get them all up again just not simultaneously. What fun!
