Kite Festival @ River Legacy Park

Just last weekend, we went to a Kite Festival in the Elm Grove Pavilion Area in the River Legacy Park in Arlington, Texas.  Its our first time to visit the park.  Admission is free.  There's a nearby Science Center where admission is free as well but donations are very much accepted.   The park is open daily from 5am to 10pm (vehicular traffic) 12am (pedestrian traffic).

The Kite Festival is done annually and being hosted by the Arlington Parks and Recreation.  It has  been years already since we have flown a kite.  So when we heard about this event, we can't help but check it out.
When we arrived, we saw a lot of families enjoying their kites.  From young to old, people enjoyed flying their  kites.

The weather was just perfect.  The wind cooperated.  A lot of colorful kites soared up in the sky. 

We were amazed how kites can take different shapes, styles and color. Too bad we didn't see any kites made up of grocery bags or newspaper and sticks since  that's how we used to do it before.  :)  

Flying a kite brings back the joys of  childhood:  simple family time, away from work and away from the computers.   I hope we can fly a kite again in the near future.
