There's a kite flying festival every Easter weekend here at a beach about 30 minutes away. This is the third year I've attended and it was great. It rained one of the days and the wind was slow on the day I visited, but there were enough kites to keep us entertained. Some were quite extensive, while others were smaller. It's been ages since I flew a kite - have you ever flown a kite?

That would be fun. I haven't flown one since my kids were young

Oh, goodness, it has been forever since I’ve flown a kite. There IS a lady - a grown woman - who really enjoys flying her kite. She doesn’t even have kids, but who cares? She’s having fun, and that is all that matters.

I'm pretty sure I've flown a kite when I was young. Great picture.

Nope, I didn't participate. I was just an avid watcher.
