Grandma Jeanne in Logan, Utah, gathers all of her chickabiddies and grandchickabiddies (and other assorted folks) and has a kite fest in the springtime.  I think that is wonderful!  It sounds like that most of the time there is wind.  Sometimes there isn’t.  Guess you could always plunk the kids in the back of a pick up and go driving around if you’re wind challenged . . .

Grandma Jeanne has a swarm of kits on hand for these kite fests.  She’s purchased some from the Fun With Wind site. Kites there range in price from $6 or $7 clear up to $800.  (Would you let a little grandchild fly an $800 dollar kite?  Me thinks not!)  I think that these nylon kites will probably last a little bit longer than the paper kites you get at Wal-Mart.

It would be fun to give a kite as a birthday present or a Christmas present.  Or tuck one beside an Easter basket. Or maybe give as a just-because-I-love-you present.

Here’s a picture of Grandma Jeanne’s kite gang.
