Beach Kite Flying

A really wonderful way to spend the day at the beach is to fly kites. There are a multitude of kites available that are sturdy and ever so much fun to fly. Be sure to wear lots of lotion while there and lots after being there so you can avoid sun and wind burn as much as possible if you plan to spend the entire day at the beach flying kites and to prevent any long-lasting damage after being there … I found out how addictive it can be the very first time I went to the beach after moving to the Houston Texas area from the Midwest - Des Moines Iowa to be specific for anyone interested.

I was so excited and joyful - I didn’t even think about lotion which was real mistake! A very painful mistake since I am fair-skinned and sunburn so easily. And do not forget the lip balm! I did and my lips are still regretting it all these many years later! I now have very dry lips all the time since I did not take care of them that day. It’s not a mistake I’ve ever made again though … once was more than enough to be in that much pain from my own carelessness. My hands were plenty sore from the wind and sun that day too without using lotion - I did have a glorious time flying that kite that day though and it is something I will never forget - the first time I flew a kite at the beach!

Be sure to get LOTS of kite string for flying kites at the beach - the wind can take it high and with no trees to get tangled up in … wow - I really enjoyed seeing all that color in the sky, including the tail or laundry if you prefer. It was neat to bring it down then let go much higher and to repeat that - I spent hours just watching it
