Since I am in a prime location to experience some of the invents in Austin, I'm taking advantage of it. The Austin Kite Festival, which I found out is a benefit for abused kids. Free kites were given out to the kids that didn't have one. In the 90's I used to work with abused kids so its something I am always concerned about. We have to make sure we help the kids that will be our future.
(A father teaches his son the art of flying a kite.)The Austin Kite Festival took place at Zilker Park. There were thousands of people and kites everywhere. It made me recall my childhood when we used to make kites. I was wondering if I could still do that? I remember taking two sticks and tying them together; then taking a sturdy piece of paper to cover them and old sheets to make the tail of the kite.
(Kites are an art form. The designs and colors are movable pieces of canvas.)There aren't a lot of kids who know how to make things. We used to make sling shots, skate mobiles and many other things to play with.
(Kites fill the sky at Zilker Park)The weather was perfect for kite flying. Lots of wind and sun. It was a great day.
