Fly Girl Friday was a Blast!

Once a month the girls put on a Girls Day and do something different each time, this time we all met down at Kite Beach and had a great day of kiting. Some girls watched some took lessons and some were already kiters. We will keep you posted on the next event here, all interested girls are welcome. Here's a link to some pics by Jimmie Hepp!
