Kite Flying Day!

January 18, 2014. Kite Flying Day! It's an annual event and higly anticipated. We were in full force, I mean, almost. My mom had to be left behind in the farm to entertain guests. Yeah, such bad timing indeed. Anyway, she was like there in spirit. Papsie texts and calls her every so often to update her of what's going on. She wishes Luis good luck the night before. Well, Luis needed that. We all needed that. Why is it so hard to fly a kite anyway?

Okay here, Luis gets kite flying 101 from Papa Man. Looks like a serious business for them huh!

My sister-in-law looking like a pro! As they say, if you can't fly it, atleast you try to look like u can!

Joachim trying to fly a kite which is bigger than him! Goodluck little boy.

Papa Man wants a profile pic shot. I wander if this is good enough?

Luis with his friends who, just like him, have also given up flying just after a few tries. I can't blame them.

I got a nice shot of Papsie and Sofi here huh!

Aly and Sofi trying their shot in shooting. Hey, we're here to fly kites aren't we?

Papsie and Tito Jocas showing everyone the proper way! They say if you're 'promdi', you must be good at this. LOL!

We are not good at flying kites (except for Papsie, Papa Man and Tito Jocas), but we're good at having our pictures taken :)

The boys are back to work! :)

The little pretty girl joined the event. Here she's playing with Papsie.

Luis and friends settled for frisbee instead... haha!

Little Rafa enjoying the field with her boots!

While everyone's just starting to fly their kites, Papa Man already looks exhausted :)

I'm glad Luis took a break from playing frisbee. Unfortunately, my hair took a break from looking glamorous! LOL!

If you're having fun, it's hard to have everyone gather together to have a complete family picture. Here, we cant get Gi, Rafa and Luis to join us.

See all those colorful and unique looking kites? Those aren't ours! Haha...

This isn't a head exercise drill. It's catching everyone looking up to see those kites. What's funny about it, I noticed, was the eagle kite on the ground. Are you following me? LOL!

A closer look at our funny family! :)

More frisbee ....

While Papsie seems to be enjoying so much, Tito Jocas is in serious work, and Papa Man takes it easy.

Papa Man looks like spiderman here pulling a string out of his hand. You need to be a superhero to be able to fly a kite! :)

And the eagle kite is down again :(

The smiley-faced kite is smiling back at us! :)

The event ended with a superb and awesome fireworks display!

What an awesome kite-flying day! Our spirits are soaring high as we head back to home base! We  missed you mommy!
