WHERE?
~~~~~~~
Tuesday here was fabulous, weather wise…EXCEPT the clouds were holding BUCKETS of impending water…which made Kite Flying a tad tenuous to say the least.
~~
According to the Weather Person this weekend should be warm BUT what about the WIND factor?

Proclamation !!!!!~~~
Whereas kite flying is family friendly, non-polluting, healthy, educational, outdoor oriented, and fun.
~~~~~~~~~~
Whereas kite flying and kite fliers, from Benjamin Franklin to Charlie Brown, are a constructive and quintessential part of our own American culture.
~~~~~~~~
Whereas kites have made significant contributions to the arts, science, mathematics, cultural awareness, and history.
~~~~~~~~~
Whereas the American Kitefliers Association and the Kite Trade Association International have designated April to be National Kite Month, and are promoting kite festivals and kite workshops across the entire country.
Food ~~~~~~~~~~
Slice pieces of bread to resemble kites.
Have the children paint the bread with food coloring and water.
Toast the bread and assemble into any type of sandwiches you desire

Early History of Flight
it is not certain as to where the first kites came from…
~~
but it is said that they were first known to the people of the South Sea Islands.

Fun post, DeeMom. I find it hard to get a kite into the air but I enjoy watching others with their kites.
Dee: I really enjoyed the story and the kite picture.

So cute and amazing!!
GREAT post, I like the colors of the kites against the grey sky.
Kite flying always appealed to me (though I have never actually done it). Now, your post makes me want to take my kids out and make sure they get the opportunity.
And now, let's see how many people in the office I can subliminally influence to sing the Mary Poppins song...
