The older I get, the more I enjoy watching kites. I like to sit quietly and watch joyful kites flutter and soar like birds. It’s such a simple thing. I must be well into my dotage. Or perhaps I never grew up.

Today I headed down to Ocean Beach’s Robb Field to check out the big 70th Annual Kite Festival. This popular family event is presented by the Kiwanis Club of Ocean Beach, who make the world better with their generous, charitable work.

According to the event’s description, The OB Kite Festival is the oldest children’s kite festival in the United States. All I know is, even on an overcast day, those kites made the sun shine throughout Ocean Beach.

  1. Yes, yes, …… it was a very enjoyable event. It was good to see so many children involved. I also marveled at the large kites at the farther end of the field flown by people having traveled many miles. They colored the sky beautifully with a colorful train of 70 kites, large monster looking kites, flowing white deltas, trilobites, a beautiful and large spinning ring, and more. Wher, o where are some pictures of these kites?
