Dating: Week 10 - Kite Making

This week I got asked out by a boy who I'd taken out a few weeks ago, Matt Gong.  He had a really creative plan: We were going to make kites and then go fly them.  Cute, huh?

We doubled with his roommate (another guy I've been on a date with.. lol), Conrad, and his date (and my friend) Riley.  We spent a couple hours making the kites.  It's harder than it may look!  All of us, except Matt, went for the "traditional" kite shape-- and we had a hard enough time with that!  They all turned out looking really cool.

We attempted to fly them and didn't have very much success.  We don't blame it completely on our kite-building skills (or lack thereof), because the real kite we had wouldn't fly very well either.  We'll blame it on the wind (or lack thereof), shall we?

I had a good time with good friends and think that's possibly one of the most original and creative dates I've been on!
