When is the last time you flew a kite?

I have never flown a store bought kite in my life. There was a kite festival last weekend so I bought huge kites for the boys at Sam's Wholesale Club for 10 bucks each. I of course didn't get one for myself and didn't tell them that I had never owned a store bought one before. Heck, I didn't even tell my husband. We had a great time at the festival, but there was hardly any wind and we couldn't get the oldest boy's kite up in the air. I felt so horrible that he never got his to fly that yesterday I decided that since it was windy, I would go try and get it flying. I wanted to be able to have it flying when he came home from school as a surprise. I had so much fun! I was out there for four whole hours flying that kite until he came home.

What a grand idea. Magnificent kites cost 10 cents when I was a kid and having older brothers who loved this sort of thing I got to trail along. Only did it once since childhood and that was as a 20-something trailing along with hubby who saw a neat kite in one of those 70% off bins and brought it home to play with on a windy day. That is a story I never told his students and should have as they would have gotten such a kick out of thinking of their very reserved and serious and oh-so-intellectual professor doing such a thing..running in the wind and laughing like a kid. Say, let's all do it!

I havent flown a kite since I was a kid but would love too..My bf actually promised me that this summer when I go visit him we'll get a kite and go kite flying which I'm SO EXCITED about!! I love kites! unfortunately though nobody in the house is nearly as enthusiastic about it as I am :-/ My husband has never shown any interest in it and is always busy in the warm months and my kids think its boring LOL

Then you should borrow your younger brother's kite and fly it. I will bring back great memories of your childhood.
