My grandson's Spiderman kite landed in one of our large pecan trees and he came to me with tears in his eyes saying "Poppy, get my kite out the tree for me". :( I couldn't resist.

At $200 a day for lift rental, I did more than kite retrieval. Although the smile on his face was worth the $$, I also mounted 2 lights on 30' poles in my arena and trimmed bunches of trees so I reckon I got my money's worth.

(and before the safety police come after me, I told him to hold on with both hands)

My daughter was traumatized by losing her kite at about 4 years old.

We never knew it and kept trying her to fly a kite but was always afraid to because she "lost" hers. She never flew a kite a gain till she was 10.

Man one never knows what sticks in a Child's mind.

So it's good thing you went after it...who knows how it would have effected him, I sure got an education.

Way to go!

Funny kite story. We "lost a kite" once when the string broke. It went way up and the string got tangled in a very high branch on a tree. That kite flew above the tree for about 3 days!
