We tried our best to get these cheap Ben-Franklin-Style kites up in the air, but if you can't already tell, we had NO success. There were a couple glimpses of hope after trying a few times, but any hope for success was demolished by an unfortunate collision between Eric and the string from Heather's kite... The string was the loser in that battle. Eric may have lost a little bit of the wedding-weight after running around the park in his attempt to defy the laws of physics, but he was pretty bugged about the useless kites so he probably didn't care about the weight....too bad.
Words of advice for those not-so-avid kiters out there:
1. Do it in March like you're supposed to
2. Don't buy your kites from Ace Hardware
3. Don't buy kites that are shaped like the revolutionary days-- go with the stealth bomber shape- I've actually seen those kites fly.
