Photo Story Friday-Flying Kites


Hosted by Cecily and MamaGeek

My family built a few memories this past weekend with the help of a Dollar Store Kite and the breeze. Now that's inexpensive entertainment!











Happy Halloween!

Kite flying is so much fun. I remember visiting kite hill in Seattle one time and although I didn't fly a kite it was fun just to sit and watch everyone else fly kites. I'm so glad the dollar store provided a great day. Wonderful pictures. :)

Unknown said...

Those are WONDERFUL pics!!!!! WOW!!! It looks like you had a wonderful time.

Casey's trio said...

I love how you are soaking up all the CA fun! We have rain here today...boo. Can't wait to see what your circus dresses up as for Halloween

Heather said...

You are so lucky to live in a warm state. It is 59 and sunny here and we are ecstatic! But shorts the weekend before Halloween....get out of here.

Have a great Halloween.

Stephanie said...

Wow, the pictures are so beautiful! It's actually a very nice Halloween day here....maybe not for shorts though :) Fun times..glad you are all enjoying the sunshine!

Cecily R said...

One year Jon and I got fancy and sprung for an expensive kite from a specialty store. It was beautiful...and it didn't fly for crap.

The Spongebob dollar store kite that we got a few frusterating trips to The Kite Park (that's really what it was called--HUGE space just for kite flying)however was a HUGE success. Go figure.

FABULOUS pics, as always Angie!!

Shannon said...

Looks like everyone is blissfully happy at the beach. Gorgeous photos and sweet, sweet memories!

Munchkins and Music said...

Is is really that nice outside on October 31? Awww man, I need a vacation there!!

Sam_I_am said...

I love flying kites at the beach. It's so effortless.

Nicole said...

We never have good kite flying weather in Colorado or maybe it's just me and I have no luck with the kites!

Kristin said...

cool photos.

tiarastantrums said...

happy halloween - wonder what it is like to trick or treat in shorts???

Kacey said...

Oh man - I love it! So jealous of the beach. Brian has always wanted to live in California. I like to visit and he's always telling me about jobs available to him there. Ha! Ha! Everytime he says that I say "great, just let yor mother know." And the conversation stops there. Ha! Ha! It looks like ya'll are having a blast though and that is what it is all about. Happy Halloween!

Elizabeth said...

You are bad, bad, bad posting all these pictures of the beach and sunshine and warmness!

Rhonda said...

BEAUTIFUL photos Angie!! I love the vertical one with all three of them and blue sky. Perfect!

Laura said...

Looks like fun! Oh man you keep making me miss the beach and California weather. I am glad to see you are enjoying it!

Jenni said...

Beautiful pictures! I have never tried a kite with my boys...I think I should!

Deb said...

how awesome. looks like you are settling into your new home quite nicely!

KatBouska said...

I can't believe that's your "October"...wtf.

Kally said...

I would love to go kite flying but for some reason I have the sneaking suspicion that it would get stuck in a tree :)

Carissa(GoodnCrazy) said...

Oh sure. MORE beach scenes. Very funny. We had such a terrific week, 70s!?? but today. ON halloween? cold. With promise of rain? It NEVER rains here, but on Halloween? Trying to be happy it isn't SNOW!

Jyl @ MommyGossip said...

You are sooooo loving Cali, aren't ya?

I am loving your beach pics and at the same time, happy the weather is warm here for Halloween this year :). Ya never know with Utah. And, being from Arizona, it is one thing I have not gotten used to.

Enjoy the season there!

Happy Halloween!

Naturally Caffeinated Family said...

Oh that is sooo fun! What a great idea! I bet everyone had such a great time! We can't wait to visit CA!

jori-o said...

I am Arizona; a person, not a place. said...

Are you trying to make me jealous!!??? Cuz its working!! Looks like an awesome time!

Chris said...

Fantastic pictures. The cheap stuff often works as well as the designer stuff.

Jen said...

now that is the most unique Halloween celebration ever. Great pictures.

Honey Mommy said...

Since it is raining here, there probably won't be any kite flying today!

Happy Halloween!

Laura said...

I want to live in California. Also, love the Halloween pictures. I would post some for the girls to see, but I am just borrowing this computer. As soon as I can, I will. Miss you like Chocolate.

Tonya Staab said...

There's nothing better than laughing children, the beach, a little breeze to get that kite flying and it barely costing a thing.

girlytwins said...

I have been begging dh to do just this. I think the girls would love it. We might have to put some rocks in their socks to ensure they don't fly away but still fun for all :)

Those are some great pictures you got.

Mark and Kiss said...

I love these pictures!!! What a great time to just hang out as a family on the beach....so happy for you!

Jaysi said...

That looks like so much fun! Oh how I love the beach. Are your kids just loving it there?

Carrie and Troy Keiser said...

These beach shots are beautiful!
Yay for the kite and the beach to make some sweet memories!

Lindsay said...

Oh really?! Flying kites on the beach overlooking the OCEAN?! i'd take that family memory. :-)

Gunnisac Sandersons said...
