Today, my family and I went for a cycling and kite flying trip together. Instead of driving to east coast like we usually did, my family used the old bicycles that we had. The cycle to East Coast Park took about 45 minutes. We used several park connecters and at time we had to cycle on the road. However other than a few bumps here and there the route to East Coast Park was relatively smooth.
When we reached East Coast Park , my parents laid down a picnic mat and handed us our kites. Our kites were not cheap, they were recently given to us by our uncle who bought it from USA a country which he frequent due to his job. I found it really difficult to get the kite in the air, first, every time I threw the kite up the wind instead of bringing the kite up slammed the kite down into the ground. Second, there were many kites in the air so sometimes the strings would get tangled and you would have to slowly untangle the lines. In the end, I finally managed to get my kite in the air. It was an exhilarating feeling, like as if you had just climbed the highest mountain. It gave me a large sense of accomplishment.
As the day continued we ate the sandwiches that we prepared at home, it was filled with egg and cheese. As the day was late we cycled home, so I could get ready for school the next day.
