I have been wanting to have a KITE FLYING CONTEST for so long and I was so happy when my FAMILY was all for it! We met over at Debbie's because she has a huge field to FLY KITES in and it's usually a little WINDY there and then afterwards we had a BBQ. I was so happy that everyone got into it and participated. Everyone had a lot of fun! Next year we will do it in late March or April so it's a bit more WINDY. I was just thankful it didn't rain on our day! I wish there had been more GUSTY WINDS. Our KITES would lift up but then the WIND would die and they'd come crashing down. Diane made the funniest homemade KITE. It was made with toothpicks I think for the sticks and some tinsel for the kite and a tiny newspaper cutout that said GO! It really was cute! My Dad got his to stay up the longest but it was so funny when Zach got Boston's BATMAN KITE up in the air and then kept adding STRING to it. He took my huge roll, Ashley's, his from another kite, and he brought an extra roll. I bet it was a mile up in the sky! It took him the longest time to reel it back in. His forearm was killing him by the time he got the KITE back down! Steven had the best time too! What a FUN DAY we had FLYING KITES!
