When did you last fly a kite?
I saw one in the sky and it reminded me of my youth. I loved flying kites, nothing special, mostly home-made stuff – but I loved it.
I can’t remember what it was about it that I loved, though.
What is appealing about flying kites?

When I was a kid. I wasn’t very good at it.
a few years ago, my and buddies made a 7ft wide kite out of clear plastic for window sealing and had it on a 4,000ft spool of line. went out on a very windy day and had it about 2,000ft up, took about an hour to bring in.
good times
I have never flown a kite. I don’t even know the basic methods of how to get one to fly. I know you run and you pull… is that pretty much it? Honestly, I’ll probably never fly a kite, unless I take my (future) kids one day.
A long time ago, when I was a kid.
I honestly can’t remember the last time I flew a kite but I’m pretty certain that on the occasions I did fly one, I had a fun time and it was relaxing.
Last summer actually. It was a blue box kite…and it made acquaintance with the power line several times. Flying kites is a great adventure…you never if it will land in the tree ten feet away, or ten miles away. :)
@Allie. You are hereby ordered to go fly a kite, with or without kids!
I have never flown a kite but I would like to someday. It seems very peaceful and fun, a great way to do something outdoors, and I believe it’s one of those activities that keeps getting more fun as you gain prowess.
When I was younger, over spring break we would always fly kites. Mine always ripped. So eventually I gave up.
Hmm, I believe it was 2001 in the Outer Banks. One of those kites with two strings that you can steer and do tricks with. Pretty fun, but we crashed it a lot.
I like to make kites from sticks and newspaper. I feel like the third Wright brother when they fly.
When I was like, five, I think. I had the best kite. It was pretty. <3
But I haven’t had a kite in years. I want one.
the last time i flew a kite was as a child, my mom was with me. it was relaxing, i felt safe and loved and it was so much fun…
About 4 or so months ago.
I never did fly a kite. However I did once share a sandwich with a kestrel.
@Sampson (very hard for me not to think of you as boots but anyway) Why were you flying kites a few months ago?
Never.
Did see The Kite Runner recently. Made me want to fly one, for like five minutes.
Last summer. I keep a small inexpensive one in the car, and have flown it from the top of the parking garage at lunch as a de-stresser. I don’t have very much string, so it doesn’t go too high.
On a Father’s day outing with my children when they were younger!
I just looked at asomething on my piano and noticed an old kite, lovingly made from scratch – paper (with little butterfly drawings) sticks and a streamer of ribbons as a tail – made by my daughter – about 15 yeasr ago. What a coincidence – it had been “misplaced”.
hmmm..well, let’s see..since NEVER.
@ultimatestar Welcome to fluther. Go, fly a kite.
;-) Just kidding.
