On Saturday we packed up the minivan and drove out to Hopkinton State Park to test out our ability to get a kite up in the air. First we tried the airfoil.

No luck.

Next we tried the box kite. Theory being that it might be easier.

Not so much.

We came close a couple of times but we didn't manage to keep it up in the air. We'll blame it on the gusty wind for now.
