We finally found a kite for Rosie, after scouring the malls. She chose the Toy Story one, although it was a close thing between it and a 'Cars 2' kite. (Cars of any kind are her latest obsession)
In the park last weekend, we attempted the maiden flight. The picture above gives an accurate picture of the maximum height attained.
We drafted in some recruits to help us try and at least reach tree-top height, and Rosie did her best to direct the proceedings.
Despite help, it wasn't to be. Never mind - Rosie loved it, and I am sure we will hit the skies in the next week.
The park was very busy (public holiday) and we spend a while watching the Pakistani and Afghani workers make the best of it and have some holiday fun.
Singing and dancing to traditional folk songs. Rosie was extremely tempted to join in, but contented herself with grooving on the sidelines.
They danced for hours, and were clearly having a really nice public holiday. For me, it felt like the most refreshing touch of foreignness since arriving in Dubai.
