Flying Kites

          in the air.


          We do a “pull” and “slack” method with the nylon

          and  this  helps  the  kite  go  very  far  up  once  the

          wind gets hold of it.


          Sometimes  the  kites  go  up  quickly  and  other
          times,  they  take  very  long  and  that  can  be

          frustrating.


          However,  when  the  kites  go  up  into  the  air,  we

          give the nylon some slack until there is no more

          thread on the stick.


          This is the reason we put as much thread or nylon
          as  we  can on the stick  before  departing  for  our

          kite flying activity.


          After  we  have  noticed  the  last  bit  of  thread,  we

          now  tie  it  to  one  of  the  strongest  trees  nearby

          and admire it far up in the sky.


          The  kites  sing  and  dance  gracefully  in  the
          pleasant breeze.
