kites are a flying
March 29, 2008 at 8:37 pmDC, The National Mall
Lots of wind today = perfect conditions for the Smithsonian Kite Festival on the National Mall. It was funny to see all the little kids racing around with their Barbie, Spongebob, and Spiderman kites flying behind them, not knowing exactly what their doing. “MOM! Take this thing from me!”
Surprising we didn’t see too many tangle-ups other than the one time Matt was attacked by some sort of dragon-bird kite. Things we did see: a stupid human trick when this man tried to fly/float in his kite after a running take-off from the Washington Monument. Amount of air: 3 feet, time in air = < 2 seconds. The rest of the photos are here.
