A bit of a break. . .

We took a break. Well, sort of. Chris went over to the house and helped Greg Bolton harvest some of the fine cedar and elm trunks from the yard. He claims to have already prepared much of it for bowls and other turned goods. Can't wait to see the craftmanship.

But how could we miss Kite Fest over on Atlantic Beach. And it is funny how fast a beach can become empty when a storm cloud is looming offshore. So we took advantage of it. And there was some unbelievable stunt flying that we'll try to upload in a bit. I have a new appreciation for kites after seeing the 4-line stunt kites. . . flying straight to the ground and stopping on a dime, 12 inches from the sand. We had a great time with Bob and Allison (and August and Slate), and Elliot stopped by with his mom and dad (Shay and Ryan) and showed off some of his own tricks (a foil kite attached under his arms, thanks to Ryan). Just a few more square inches of kite could have been a lot more exciting.
