And the poem. I bet kids love your articles.<br />Very smart to tell them how to fly the kites. I always had trouble and then when I did get it airborne I'd be thrilled.<br />Fun for kids and adults too.<br />blessings, BarbB.

I don't know if I could run fast enough to get the kite up anymore, but I know some people who can. :) I have fond memories of watching the kite contest every spring on the beach in California. They were so beautiful and unique. There would be hundreds of kites in the air, the sound of the happy crowd and the crashing waves, the smell of the salty sea, and suntan lotion! It was a very happy time. I hope you have a wonderful weekend ahead!

The last time I flew a kite I was in my 50s; I wasn't noticing the length of my string and it went sailing off across the road and into a tree top.<br /><br />A fun post!lil red henhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15494641068959278096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3635163323560816578.post-79965815419408202902012-03-16T09:06:57.335-04:002012-03-16T09:06:57.335-04:00Thanks for reviving childhood memories.

As a child I had a bright red diamond kite and I loved it. One day, one very windy day, I let go and it went on its journey into space.

We have lots of string, and do let that kite climb high into the sky ... with the seagulls passing by :)<br /><br />Thanks for the summertime memories this evening ...Joannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03972054718663959694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3635163323560816578.post-18588076420007471702012-03-15T20:55:00.230-04:002012-03-15T20:55:00.230-04:00Wow, childhood memories f trying to make kites tha...Wow, childhood memories f trying to make kites that flew.
