Go Fly a Kite!

I will need to check this out. My Granddaughter loves to fly kites. I hope I can find some easy ones for her and I to build together. Thanks for sharing.

This reminded me that last year my friend and I made home made kites, making up a new one each weekend for several weeks. All this came about because he was inspired by a plastic bag he saw suck in a tree that was flapping around. “You want to build a kite?” he randomly say as we were walking along. “Sure, lets try it.” Neither of us had flown a kite in decades. We went to the big box store and wondered around collecting some simple materials, then drove to the beach and built our creation on the sand. We put huge long tails on a few of them. Was all super fun.

Here’s a bunch of videos if you want to see what they looked like and how they flew.
