Let's Go Fly a Kite

Flying a kite in the rain isn't as fun as it sounds. The kite just doesn't fly very high or manoeuver well when it's drenched with water and covered in wet sand. For a few minutes, though, we had some fun. And before it started raining, we enjoyed the other kites in the Long Beach Kite Festival.

Is that a penguin? Since when do penguins fly?

But flying cats and pandas, well, that's okay:

Teddy bears only fly when they have a parachute:

More photos of the non-kite variety have yet to be sorted, but when they do, they'll join the 39 kite-related photos on flickr.

At least you could see the kites. Last year it was cold and foggy. One night the fireworks were invisible. We went to the interior of the peninsula and went on a walk in the bird refuge on the end of the peninsula in the sun.
