kites

During my time in California, I learned many new things. I also remembered how to do others. Like flying kites. When my friend Theo mentioned that she made and flew kites, I was giddy with excitement. When the news of my internship came, I started frantically planning fun time with friends in Santa Rosa. Flying kites was first on the agenda.

So we wandered through the endless park pathuntil we found just the right spot. We unpacked the kites and stood on the grassy hill overlooking the lake. We encouraged our kites to fly, much as frog and toad did, saying 'up kite, up'.

And we happily stood there, throwing color to the sky (in Theo's words) until we were rosy with sun.
