Ocean Shores Kites — Attraction in Ocean Shores

We stopped here during our recent trip to the shore. In the front window they have wind chimes that my kids would just not leave alone, I kept quietly trying to tell them to get away from them and instead of giving glaring looks or asking the kids to stop, the owner (I think) came over and showed my son exactly how to run his hand across to make them all chime.

As we were leaving, I thought about some kites I have been looking for for a year: Finger Kites. We saw a street vendor selling them in Portland and didn't buy one. After our travels, we couldn't find any in our area. Ocean Shores Kites actually have a display case of Mini-Kites and prices ranged from $8 to over $20. I bought two (one for myself and my son) and we are very happy with...
