Kite Flying





The other day we went out and flew kites again. It was a lot of fun. Jim bought two kites for us to fly when we were celebrating our anniversary last week. It ended up being a lot of fun so Jim decided to get another kite and some more string. We flew the kites in our own backyard. We have learned that Pleasant Grove has a lot of wind which makes it the perfect place because you don't have to run very much to get the kites up. We live in my aunts basement and luckily she has a big backyard. We brought her kids out with us and it was fun to see their excitement since a couple hadn't even flown kites before. We got one kite up 600 ft, another kite up maybe 300-400 ft. and that last one up probably 100-150 ft. The coolest thing was having all three kites up in the air at one time. We wanted to take a picture but before we could get the camera out, the lowest kite decided to nose dive right onto the roof. I love that it is now warm enough to start going outside again. I love the spring time and being outside in the sun after a long cold winter.

  1. That's a good idea! You know what I want to try next time I am driving in the middle of nowhere? Flying a kite out the car window. I think that would be hilarious... and fun.

  2. LOL, I have done that before. It was fun and it was the only way we could get enough wind. You have to fly the kite pretty low though and watch out for stop signs:)
