Let's Go Fly a Kite
I hope the rain holds off this weekend because ever since our recent overnight to Maine (where Laurel flew her first kite last summer), I've been thinking about kites. And tomorrow (May 14, 12-4pm) is the Franklin Park Kite & Bike Festival, where families can fly kites (BYOK; they'll also be giving away kites to the first 50 attendees) and/or "rent" bikes for free. Meanwhile, I'm browsing Into the Wind, which offers a crazy selection of kites. I especially like that they break out sections for beginner and kids kites (read: easy to fly models). And in the show kite department, this air guitar kite is out of my budget but totally cool, no?

Making your own kite is always very cool too.

We live in a great place for kite flying that's just south of Boston in Hull, MA. Nantasket Beach almost always has great wind for flying kites (there is a kite shop right off the beach) as well as a carousel, mini golf, and other fun stuff for kids. We have a bright blue French military kite that we will set up on the beach and let it fly all day as a marker for friends to be able to find us :)

I just wanted to inform your readers of our site. It's newly launched and has a good selection of kites, even easy fliers for kids. We also offer free ground shipping on every order, we don't know if any other kite site that offers that. Check out kites.com and let us know what you think. We love getting feedback.
Thanks.
