Oh smashing, we are kiters(make our own) and are looking forward to being able to start going  back to the Oregon coast ones further into the summer. In the UK we went to a couple in Beverley and Cleethorpes but they were quite small so we didn't veture further afield.

What do you fly?

just a spectator, I think if I tried, I'd be the one flying  ;D
they were fabulous, there was , were a balinese prince and princess there, they had brought their silk and bamboo kites, beautiful colours plus we got to see a very long dragon kite and lots of competitions , really nice change  ;D

Wow, that was exciting seeing royalty flying kites, wonder of they will go to Oregon??

Did you get dropping teddies?

sorry, you've lost me, there were great big flying teddies  ;D

[Jeannine]

We went to one in the Uk were they threaded teddies on to a line they went very high then the kite owner had some way of releasing them and they came down on parachutes, the kids loved it.
