Sunshine and I love to go to Treasure Island Beach in front of Montage Laguna Beach early Friday mornings before work. We see seals and dolphins, people paddle boarding, walking their dogs, practicing yoga and jogging on the sand. It’s very relaxing.
A couple of weeks ago, we saw someone flying a kite. That looked like fun, so I ordered a monkey kite on Amazon and it just arrived.
We decided to go to the beach and watch it fly.
Since it’s been about 30 or 40 years since we’ve flown a kite, we were a little rusty on how to get them to fly. Our first attempt was a minor failure…
Once we realized we needed some wind, our monkey kite really took off…
He wanted to fly higher and higher, so we took that little monkey down to the sand and let him fly as high as possible…
Man, that monkey wanted to soar! He went higher and higher and all the people walking by stared in amazement. We came to the end of the string and the monkey still wanted more. It sure was fun!!!
After about an hour, we brought the monkey kite down (almost a crash-landing!)…
It sure was a good kite-flying day!! We’ll bring more string next time.
