We picked up a decent kite in St. John yesterday. It was a decision that was wrought with history: Katie claims not to have had much success with kites and the little one I bought a couple years ago wouldn’t fly in a hurricane, but the kids wanted a kite after they saw one flying at the beach on Friday. Ah what the heck?
Today we took it for a test run; put the crossmember in, tie the string on, explain several times to the child how to hold the kite and toss it straight up when I give the signal. And up it went. The first few attempts weren’t so good, but there’s wet weather coming and the wind was really picking up. After a few minutes, we had a sustainable kite!
First real experience went well. Liam needs to work on his grip though.
