Kite Flying (One of top and low-cost outdoor activities for children!)

We are at my sister-in-law's house almost every Sunday. One of our favourite activities is kite flying. When I was small, my sister used to make kites out of broom sticks and paper/plastic bags. They didn't fly that well, I remembered. Children these days are so, so, so lucky with ready-make kites available, with printing of Ben 10, Spiderman, Spongebob SquarePants, you name it, they have it.....and best of all, they are very lasting and can fly very well!
There is a very wide open space opposite my sister-in-law's house that caters for the morning markets and therefore it is left empty from afternoon onwards. Big space with tar-covered ground, it is perfect for for kite-flying.
Great time to fly kites is about 6 to 7pm during the transition of weather when the wind would blow especially stronger. My husband and I would normally start flying the kites into the sky and then when it is stable up there, we'll let our children hold onto the thread reel. See how much we enjoyed ourselves!
