Let's Go Fly a Kite!

Although it is true that small prairie towns often lack the sophistication and culture found in "the big city", there is one thing we have in abundance - wind. And that is a pretty big selling feature when you have a family of four, a free Saturday and a Nemo kite. So this past weekend, we took our kite out for a sail in the prairie skies over Caronport. It was a perfect day to go kite-flying.

Brook was a big help to Sean whenever the kite made a nose-dive. She always ran to get it straightened out and flying again

Roz also helped. You may wonder why our youngest child is missing her pants. Well, there was a small incident with a large puddle mere seconds after arriving on the field.

And of course the best part of kite-flying is just looking up to see it soar

So our Saturday morning with Sean (after waffles) was spent running, laughing and flying our kite. I was so inspired, I thought of maybe organising a Caronport Kite Festival. Now, that may not actually "take off", so to speak but hey, if you have big skies and lots of wind, what better way to take advantage of them? I'll keep you posted. ~Mandy
