High Flying Kites

Here is the cavalcade of kites flying near the Washington Monument and the Capitol. They had all different styles--I saw pirate kites, bird kites, shark kites, and even some Barbie kites. The parrot kite on the right flew high for a long time, but eventually crash landed right on its beak. We have a kite down!

I gotta say though, my favorite was this homemade number by the little girl on the left. She made it out of cardboard and police caution type (and it actually flew, albeit not so high). It makes me feel better about the future when I get to see resourcefulness in children.
