dora_kite-small.gifFor anyone who has ever chased after a kite when  their child simply let go of the string, Garret Leiva of Michigan has captured the moment in a funny and warm hearted look at the magic moments of kiting with a young child.

Writing in The Grand Traverse Herald, Traverse City, Michigan, Garret tells the intriguing story of his mad dash to rescue a Dora the Explorer kite that he had handed to his daughter so she could enjoy flying. 

Garret - many of us have been in a similar situation - but few of us have written about it with such terrific insight.  Visit Garret's account "Chasing After Kite, Fleeting Youth" for an interesting read.
