Let's Go Fly a Kite

Saturday, May 9, 2009
Libe Slope, Ithaca, NY

Hillary, Tahra, and I finally got the chance (perfect weather + free time) to fly the $2 kites we bought at Target a few weeks ago.  We took them out to Libe Slope, where you get the wind off Lake Cayuga.  Luckily, the slope was relatively free of people since the cloudy weather deterred the usual sun bathers.  The kites took to the air immediately, and we all had great fun with the childhood throwback as we made the kites swoop and dive (we only accidentally dive-bombed one innocent bystander).  When the wind that was carrying our kites so well finally delivered the storm it was bringing, we reeled in the kites and reluctantly returned to our studying.


Our three kites, battling it out.

Me with my 2.50 Sesame Street kite.  Well worth it.

Illika also got a dandelion crown for the day.  It seemed fitting.
