Kite Competition

The Santa Amaro Church in Palmas held it's first kite competition. The day could have been better even though. The month of July is typically windy, that day wasn't, so it was hard for the kites to fly. But the kids did it anyhow running from one side to the other. Below are pictures of the winners. The kites were judged on best design/prettiest, highest flying, and best aerial acrobatics.


Children all over Brazil love to fly kites and you will see this if you come to Brazil in the right month. Natinha said that when she was a child it was only something that boys did, now you see both boys and girls playing with kites.
