I tried flying a kite once when I was little. It got stuck in the neighbor's tree and we couldn't get it out. Reminds me so much of Charlie Brown and the kite eating tree.

I haven't flown a kite in ages, but I used to fly a bunch of different kites as a kid. My favorite kite was a dragon with a big long streamer tail. I remember being endlessly enchanted by flying kites. It was a great way to spend the time.

My fondest kite flying memory was with my big sister.  I let go of the string... the kite took off and got stuck in some trees.  We trudged through exterior of a corn field to get to the tree.  Once my sister realized how twisted and tangled it was up there she said well we're done now.  While standing there watching her try and get it my feet were sinking into the earth.  She had to grab me from under the arm pits and pull me out of my shoes.  Mom wasn't to happy with me coming home with no kite, no shoes and mud clopped socks.

I use to love to fly a kite when I was young.  We would tie old rags on the bottom so it would have a long tail.
Have a wonderful day!

I've never been very good at it either but my son can fly them even when it's only a barest breeze out there.  Not sure how he got the talent for it

I flew a kite once when I was a kid. I kinda want to do it again. My girl hasn't done it before, so it'd be a perfect date.

my parents bought us a kite when we were growing up.
Dad used to help us get it in the air.
It is a pastime, however.
Like many things in life, you have to really like to do it.
I suppose some people do it as a hobby.
It is thrilling.
You do need the wind.
I think it is one of those things that parents want to introduce their children to.

Yes, I did it for the first time many years ago at the beach. It was perfect kite flying day and quite a few people had beautiful kites out. My husband and I rented one and had so much fun. It's become a bit of a fun tradition at the beach (when the weather is right).

I did that years ago when I was in the cub scouts. I can't really remember how it was but I don't think it went to well.
