Old toys

When I was a little girl my dad used to fly kite with me and I loved it. I had a kite shaped as an eagle and whenever the wind was really strong, it would look as if the bird was flapping its wings high above my head. For a 6 year-old this was magic. Kids today are so spoiled by high definition videogames and robot toys, that kites probably dont interest them much. Although I too love videogames and robot toys, I still get a kick out of the good oldfashioned fabric-on-a-string toy. -The kite.

As faith will have it, I have a boyfriend who actually (sometimes) listen to what I say...so he remembered my childhood story about the eagle kite and went out and bought me a new one. Not an eagle, but a diamond kite with an awesome tail that made it even more fun to fly! So thats what we did a couple of weeks ago. Flew our kite.













If I have kids some day, Im going to show them the old generation toys. We cant let this very simple but fun activity be forgotten. Go home to your parents and find your old kite and take it to your nearest park the next time its windy. Its an order.
