22/02: Kite Flying
Category: General
Posted by: The Agnew Family
When we were at the kite festival, Ed talked about buying a four string kite. Unfortunately for my wallet, the kite Ed wanted was in stock at the local kite shop so he's now the proud owner of a four string kite.
Carol and I took the dogs and a couple of tennis balls for a walk down the beach. Since we believe there is a leash law on the beach we had long lines on both dogs. The balls were thrown, the dogs took chase, my foot went up in the air and my butt landed hard on the sand. Important lesson --- make sure your feet are clear of the leashes. Not sure what hurt the most --- my ankle, my head or my pride.

the kite ---- the matching hat was not a co-incidence, it came with the kite. I tried to fly the kite but it wasn't as easy as Ed made it look. I got it off the ground but crashed shortly afterward. Ed said being able to fly a plane helped with flying the kite.
Cait was sitting on the beach minding her own business, when a bully (Zaph) started digging a hole to sit in and sprayed sand on her.
