Melvern Lake Kite Fly

 



It isn't all gardening and hard work. In October we went to a Kite Fly at Melvern Lake. We didn't quite know where we were going. As we approached the lake, Leon said, "watch for a crowd.'  I looked up to see giant dragon kites overhead. "I think I know where we're going."

We were in a sheltered area behind the dam. There wasn't a lot of wind at our level, but Leon pulled out his fish kite and started getting it together. 

He couldn't get it to stay up flying it the conventional way, but Leon always has a plan. He pulled a crappie pole out of the back of my KIA and hooked it to the kite. Instant Air!

He found a youngster nearby to give it a trial flight. She had more fun with the crappie pole than her own kite.
