National Kite Flying Day - February 8th

My brother and I used to make kites🪁🪁 out of the Sunday funnies (but not until after we read them, of course!). On a breezy summer* Sunday, our mom would tell us to go fly a kite. So we would:)

*summer because we lived waaaay up north, so far north that it was called South Canada, and flying a kite in Feb-ru-deary wasn't possible

My kids enjoyed.. and liked to see just how high...they could get them to go.😄
 
We love making our own kites and flying them. My father helped us make box kites, which were a bit harder to get off the ground.
