Even a straw-string-grocery bag kite would likely soar higher than the ones I attempted to fly as a kid.Guy Thomashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12295921407631250992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7713060046547631469.post-59271505216992130682012-04-12T20:48:45.369-04:002012-04-12T20:48:45.369-04:00Very funny captions on the photos!

They looked like.......well they looked like a piece of plastic grocery bag attached to a couple of straws with a string hanging off the end. But honestly, they thought they had died and gone to heaven when they were trying to fly them. Kites really are a crowd pleaser.pammustardnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7713060046547631469.post-65169230565203938672012-04-12T14:20:10.815-04:002012-04-12T14:20:10.815-04:00I think the only way I could get a box kite to fly...I think the only way I could get a box kite to fly would be to insert a few helium balloons into it.

Now, you've made me wonder if I missed a post about goosing a ghost... guess I'll have to check!<br /><br />Actually, my brother and I made box kites out of wooden slats and newspaper when we were kids, and they flew pretty darned well. Not as pretty and colorful as the store-bought ones, though. My hubby and I flew kites with a couple of our grandchildren last year, and I think we enjoyed it more than the kids did.Susan Flett Swiderskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09425315552148200073noreply@blogger.com
