My grandparents were\u00a0caravan fanatics and every summer they would take me and my sister with them\u00a0up to Bridlington or Scarborough for a few days.\u00a0\u00a0It was on one of these trips that my granddad bought\u00a0us\u00a0our first kite. We spent hours (or it seemed like it at the time) running up and down the beach trying to launch and keep our kites up in the air for more than a few seconds. It was hard work, but our competitive streak keep up striving to see who could keep their kite up in the air the longest.<\/p>\n<h2>How to make\u00a0 Kite Collage
