We brought a huge kite from Costco several weeks ago. It’s a space shuttle. We spent $10 only. It was very easy to assemble. Victor was so happy the day we got it. It was raining very hard that day. So we have to stay at home.
The next day, the sky cleared a bit. There were occasional showers, sometimes heavy. But we could not be stopped. The three of us went to the parking lot next to the Bay. It was so windy that we sometimes had trouble holding on to the kite. Kite flying is not easy. We ran it to the ground many times. It almost hit our car a few times. We did get better. The space shuttle was as high as several stories.
We spent about half an hour flying kite. Then it started to rain, heavily. We had to get back.
Oliver came the following week. Four of us went out and flied the kite for a few minutes. But they had their mind on something else and we had to leave.

Kite Flying Next to the Bay

I am a clumsy person, but I learned to fly the kite relatively quick. The key is to pull the space shuttle head up so it doesn't do a nose dive. When the wind makes it spin, it's hard to control the kite. You have to wait for it to regain balance, coax and guide it gently like you do a child. I especially admire the NASA and American flag printed on the space shuttle. I am a proud American flying the mighty Discovery space shuttle.
