Can We Fly a Kite?

Oh, excitement was certainly in the air when Uncle Gary got out his super duper kite. This is one of those stunt kites that will do dips and loops to the amazement of all nearby. The kite expert onfolded his kite and proudly unfurled the long yellow tail.

After 15 minutes there seemed to be a problem. Could Uncle Gary not figure out how to erect this marvel of the wind? Nope, seems Uncle Bob came over to see if he could help. Well, we still waited for the launch.

Oh no! Uncle Gary is reading the directions. You know how we men are! Never read the directions unless it is the absolutely the last possible alternative. Guess the directions said "stand on the kite but be certain to jump if it launches prematurely."

As the folks finally gathered to get ready for the launch, notice there is a haze forming over the beach. It came in quickly!

The kite is launched. It is flying wonderfully for 3 to 4 minutes when an environmental disaster occurred.

All the observers started to get lost in a quick moving fog and a cold wind blew over the beach. The observers headed back to the van with Uncle Gary and his fabulous flying machine all alone with the fog starting to surrounding him.

The fog came so fast that it became difficult to see. Uncle Gary had to abort his flight plans and quickly disassemble the kite! On the way home, it was impossible to see to drive the van. We inched our way along the shore and finally discovered the access to the hard road. As soon as we left the beach, the sun returned and the fog left as quickly as it appeared. Twas a fun kite flying session.
