Flying Kites 2008

These pictures are from kite flying in March 2008. Previously mentioned in this post, but I only gave you one picture from while we were flying the kites. So here is a flashback 2 years in the past. Hopefully, I can go kite flying again this year, weather permitting.

Tom getting his kite to fly.

Strings get knotted.

I think the actual kite flying happened over two days. So the cloudy skies and basketball shirt are one day, and the blue skies and hoodie are another.


Flying a dragonfly kite.

Flying a flaming kite.

Step-dad flying a very complex jet kite. It's really cool, but a little too heavy for the wind that day.

Tom getting his kite to fly. The only picture I showed you in the Easter Weekend post in 2008.

Everyone has to deal with their kite getting stuck in a tree at some point.

Tom went through several kites that weekend, and I only needed one. My faithful Nemo kite survived that day and lives on ready to fly 2 years later. I'm so proud of him.

I want to go kite-flying with you! I just gotta find the kites first. :D

Shannon, That would be so much fun!
Amy, fun fact: Finding Nemo is my favorite Disney movie besides the Lion King, so this kite was begging to come home with me.
