February 8th is National Kite Flying Day! Kites were invented in China over 2,000 years ago and were originally used for military purposes like measuring distance and wind direction. While kite flying is usually viewed as a summer past-time, you can actually fly kites in winter too (as long as wind conditions are ideal and you are dressed warmly)!
