Wick Park Kite Day

Yesterday afternoon we took a pleasant stroll over our local Wick Country Park for the annual kite flying event with a little classic car show thrown in for good measure. The two boys got to make and decorate their own kite and then take them outside to see if they would fly (and all free of charge!). In the end we gave up on the homemade kites and resorted back to the boys shop bought versions. This year there was some pretty amazing professional kites on display as you can see from the pictures.

Brandon gets sticking his canes onto the back of his kite.
Joshua getting stuck in there (pardon the pun!).
Woops, not sure that helper is happy with her photo being taken.
And Brandon's kite is nearly complete and ready for decorating.
Check out this amazing looking sea horse kite. Brandon is standing underneath it to give you an idea of the size of it.
And the little igloo floor kite is pretty amazing too.
 
Probably the best kite of the day was this huge, 3D batman kite.
