I have childlike fun as much as possible. If a kid would do it, I probably would, too. Flying a kite was a suggestion from a friend, but it really fit my mantra!I figured the best person to do this with would be my awesome, teenaged neighbour, Kelsey. I was right.
On the day that we decided to fly kites, I realized that I didn't, in fact, own a kite. Neither did Kelsey. I didn't think this would be too much of a problem, but it was mid September, so I was wrong.
I went to Walmart, Toys-R-Us and two dollar stores. Luckily, the second dollar store had them, and in a two pack, no less!
Kelsey & I went to the field behind the high school in our neighbourhood. My kite went up straight away, but Kelsey's kept circling at high velocity, close to the ground. Luckily, I had bought 4 kites, so we made the switch and her new one went up quickly after that.
A few people walked along the path close to us and commented on what a great night it was to fly a kite. I couldn't have agreed more. It was warm without a cloud in the sky, but with a bit of a breeze. We really lucked out!We hung out for about an hour and then the sun started going down.
Afterwards, it was time for some ice cream.
Om nom nom.
