Too many excuses 3 weeks ago

We gave our daughter a kite to her 4th birthday (she’s 5 now!) and never, not once had/take the time to go out and let it fly.
I’m ashamed…
Well, now I have the time, there is a nice big open lawn where we can easily let it fly and the winds are perfect these days. So maybe we’re going outside to let it fly this afternoon or tomorrow.

The birthday kite-flying attempt 3 weeks ago

was my most successful attempt to date. However, it still wasn’t windy enough. The kite stayed high in the air for about 20 seconds before losing altitude and crashing. The wind isn’t constant enough – and that’s even at a renowned kite flying location 40 minutes away from home!

I think the problem in Vancouver is that the only time it’s windy enough to properly fly a kite, it’s also rainy and cold and generally miserable outside. Boo!

Maybe I need a different shape of kite to start with. Mine’s a stunt kite, and the only stunt I can make it do is a nosedive.



Fly a Kite 3 weeks ago

I have wanted to do this for a long time! So while on vacation in Kitty Hawk a few weeks ago I was inspired! I went to a kite shop, and bought an inexpensive but quality starter kite in the shape of a dragon. Brought it out onto the beach, and in less than 5 minutes it was flying high! It is uplifting, and somewhat meditative. I was only focused on being on the beach and keeping my kite up high – everything else faded into the background. Now that I have my own kite, I will definitely keep this up!

I know we took Spencer to fly a kite when he was pretty young, and maybe once on the beach. But I’d definitely like to do it more often.

Good old Aldi had kites for sale so I picked one up today at a great price. It’s got really nice colours. Now I’ve just got to find time and space to fly it!

I got a kite at a yard sale for 50 cents! Just need a nice windy day to try it out.

A note to Barbie... 2 months ago

...so today was the planned epic kite-flying adventure!

However,

I have to say I was sadly disappointed to find that my dollar store Barbie kite did not come with a handle! The outside of the package promised a handle and yard, but my particular model contained none. I think this was just a manufacturing issue, and as a long time consumer of Barbie products, I will write the company in hopes of reimbursement for my $1 purchase.

There wasn’t enough wind today anyway, ;)!



Fly a Kite 3 months ago

I want to fly a beautiful kite high up on a hill. I want to have it fly so high that it feels like I am in the clouds. I want to feel the joy I felt when flying one as a little girl.
