 Kite
flying is a traditional Easter pastime in Barbados. Easter Monday
is usually the big day for kite flyers because of the annual
competition. Unfortunately this year there wasn't a sponsored
competition, but that didn't stop people from turning out in
their numbers. |
|
| It was a pleasure to see parents interacting and having fun
with their children. Children of all ages had a chance to show
off their kite flying skill. For some it was their first kite.
Three-year-old Allon flew his kite with his father Elon. With
other children playing all around, his father did have a tough
time keeping him interested in the kite, but they certainly
had fun. |
