Roll 11 - 1
Wheeeee 		Roll 11 - 2
People, people everywhere. The woman holding hands with the hunky army medic (take my word for it) is my current roommate. 		Roll 11 - 6
tee hee hee
Roll 11 - 8
I just love the old guy with a fishing rod. There just wasn't enough wind for him to get it up. 		Roll 11 - 9
There were a few times during the day when there was enough wind to get hundreds of kites up in the air. Quite a site. 		Roll 11 - 10
See?
Roll 11 - 12
This guy on the right wasflying an unbelievably light 4-line kite (one line tied to each end of those sticks he has in his hands). I've never seen anything like it. 		Roll 11 - 15
This was WAY overdone. There is far too much bridle, perhaps he was planning to fly in a LOT more wind. It's pretty though 		Roll 11 - 20
See how much too much line he has on that stained glass kite? The l-o-n-g kite is a snoopy. You can't see it, but each blue pannel has a snoopy picture on it.
Roll 11 - 19
I don't know what this was made out of, but it was huge. 		Roll 11 - 21
See? 		Roll 11 - 24
This kite was one from a member of the family who all had amazing homemade kites.
Roll 11 - 27
This was another kite from Super-Kite-Family. It's about 5' tall. 		Roll 11 - 28
I couldn't decide which of these pictures sucked less. The kite was great, though. 		Roll 11 - 31
These were two small little kites flown by a couple of little kids. There were lots of those. The kite festival really is a spectator event.

Once again, huge... 		Roll 11 - 9 copy
They were giving away these little white kites at the festival. If I had known they did that I would have gone the last six years.
