Let's fly a kite!

Hey y’all! It’s me Selina. This is my first official blog entry on our site.

Veronica and I were given a special assignment today. We had to tap into our inner child and go to the 4th annual Spring Break Kite Festival at North Central Park. Not only did we have stop by, but we had to fly a kite. I volunteered to take the camera and I made volunteered Veronica to fly the kite.
We arrived to see the park filled with families enjoying themselves. The local firefighters provided bounce houses for the kiddos and free hot dogs, pizza and water were available.


Veronica quickly got to work and began assembling the kite.


In record time, we were ready to join in on the fun! We were going to show all those kids that we’ve been there, done that, bought the t-shirt and wrote the book on kite flying.


The weather was great the breeze was cool, we couldn’t have asked for a better day to enjoy the outdoors. Keep in mind that it was my first time using the new staff camera so just use your imagination and picture a bright sunny afternoon. I promise that I’ll read the handbook and deliver professional-like photos on my next assignment.


Much to our dismay, Veronica tried and tried to get the kite to fly but unfortunately it just wasn’t happening. It seemed like everyone else’s kite was soaring higher and higher and our poor little kite just never managed to find its way.  

This was the most successful try and she managed to keep the kite in the air for about 4.5 seconds.


All in all, Veronica and I had a great time! Next time you find yourself in our neck of the woods stroll by North Central Park. Pack a picnic lunch and bring out the whole family.
