K/ Alphabe-Thursday

 Go fly a KITE!

When you think of playing outdoors in winter, you probably don't think of kites. But quite a few people were flying kites on the frozen ice over Cook's Bay last Sunday afternoon.

Practicing the art of KITE flying

Out on the bay you don't have to worry about your kite getting caught in tree limbs. And a few kite flyers were wearing short skis or snowboards and were enjoying a ride courtesy of the wind.

    This would be fun to see. Though it would be best seeing it from the inside with a fire blazing . . . )

    I'll watch from the shore, thank you very much! Just thinking about walking on ice after such a mild January gives me the shivers! OK, I'm a chicken, I know!

    It would take a lot of convincing to get me to go out on frozen ice, but flying a kite and getting a ride from it does sound like fun.

    Great winter fun! I suppose you just make the best of the weather..but I just can't seem to appreciate the cold snowy winters..prefer sunshine and blue skies of Arizona.
