Kites

What better way to spend a blustery autumn day than flying a kite?



As it happens, we already own a couple of good, large kites, but they're the kind of kites that need a large, wide open place to fly, not the kind with which we can step outside to enjoy on a moment's notice. To remedy this situation, we made some little kites, using this pattern.



Edward preferred observing the kite making process to actually participating, but wanted to be front and center to all the action.



Later, we enjoyed the fruits of our labor. It took a few giddy tries,



but Vance managed to keep his kite in the air more often than not.



Edward preferred the "taking my kite for a walk" method of kite flying.



For the most part, the weather this week wasn't actually that great for kite flying. The days were either too rainy, or not windy enough. Still, I expect that there will be plenty of days for flying kites before the winter arrives.
