I used to be able to fly kites outside my school during the summer. (Of course, this is when I was rilly young.) My brother and I would go, or my friends and I. The large open spaces were perfect for kites.
Nowadays, there's just too many trees around to really fly a kit just about anywhere around here. It's the only thing I dislike about where I live - I love the trees very much, but it automatically rules out certain types of activities. Kite flying is one of them.
