Easter Monday for some was spent indoors, because of some rain.
But for thousands of others, it was the wide open spaces and kites and food hampers.
For some the food and the drinks seemed to be the thing, the kites coming a poor third.
Many braved the few showers, and took their families out , relaxing on mats under  wide shady trees at the National Park and the Joe Vieira Park, and other open spaces. At Joe Vieira Park, West Coast Demerara, several music systems belted out loud popular songs while hundreds of people converged on the green with their families, including scores of children, who were assisted in getting their kites up in the air.
The children were most excited as they held onto their colourful flying machines, some of these getting snarled on trees ever so often.
Natasha Samuels, eight, told the Guyana Chronicle that she was happy to be out with her parents and siblings, as she tightly held her bird kite.
There were many vendors as well as patrons who consumed beverages and chicken meals, while they watched their children holding on for dear life to the reels from which their kites flew high in the air.
Meanwhile, at the National Park, Georgetown, families grouped together as they relaxed under huge umbrellas and makeshift tents.
Some children were saddened their kites got soaked when caught in the rain.
On the Sea Wall,  there was a thick crowd of revellers dancing to songs from boom boxes, while others sat around and  gaffed and laughed loudly.
The scene at National Service Ground, Carifesta Avenue, was family-oriented and the children were engaged in several games, including cricket.
By late afternoon, many children still had their kites flying high up in the air while the others said they lost theirs as a result of high winds.
Troy Singh, ten, said his kite got smashed when it fell from the sky, and he was assisting his cousin in getting his up in the air yesterday.
Several men who were enjoying each other’s company over drinks told the Guyana Chronicle it was indeed a good day for kite flying, as they supervised a group of children nearby.
The kite flying scene in the city was a crowded and colourful one, as many, with their children in tow, lined the seawalls and every open space in play grounds and other areas.
