Kites and Labor

Spent May 1st, or Italian Labor Day, at the Castiglion del Lago Kite Festival as per tradition with Clare, Marcello, Chiara and Mary. Had a really nice time, despite a terrible onslaught of allergies (wow, like clockwork...May 1st, POOF: Jodi turns red, itchy, blotchy and cranky...TADA!!).

The Gang:



It was my first experience flying a kite - except for when my father accidentally flew ours from the top of our car driving across the Golden Gate bridge during a family trip back the early 80's...(you didn't think I forgot, did you dad?)

You can see I'm new at this from my intense facial expression...



Luckily the kite was categorized as "Easy to Fly"!

Andrea had a nice go at it too:



A fun time was had by all!
