Kite-Eating Trees!

So much fun in physics! And band ;)
So in physics we made kites. And got to fly them!
On the second day, me and Jon really wanted to stay outside, so we skipped band class. We saw Kelsey in the hall (she's in the other physics class) and convinced her to skip with us! Getting our kites out of the band room, the teacher saw us and asked what we were doing. We said we wanted to fly them during that period and he said "Sure! Just don't get in trouble!" Haha I love him :)


Mine kinda failed.... The first day I kinda got it in the air with help from the teacher, but then he had to help someone else and I ran out of time. Second day, it wouldn't fly, so I changed it a little to make it lighter. It flew for like 3 seconds then a dowel broke... tried fixing it with duct tape but that failed :( So we flew Jon's! His was like, perfect. He got it up with no help and tied it to a bench and it flew itself. Kelsey's string was too short so we couldn't really fly hers lol.


Getting Jon's kite down was fun! It took forever to reel it all in, and it ended up getting stuck in a tree across the lake. Me and Kelsey wanted it to crash in the lake, that would've been funny :P But he broke the string so it fell, and just walked over and got it. Boooring!
