Saturday Snapshot is hosted by West Metro Mommy Reads
In July, we went to a kite festival on Belle Isle in Detroit. We had gone the year before and it was such an amazing sight, all the multi-colored kites flying through the sky. This year was a little different. No kites. No wind. It was a still, hot, humid day. If the kites could have sailed through the moisture in the air, kite day would have been hopping! Despite the gross weather, we set up shop under a tree and hung out for a bit, listening to music, snacking, and basically just enjoying the day and some family time.
I remembered not to touch the fuzzy caterpillar! And I loved our shade tree – doesn’t it look like a woman, arms outstretched, head back, dancing in joy? I could be a little fanciful I guess.
Billy took a little walk, investigating the the food trucks that were lining the street. Wyatt and I stayed in the shade, waiting to see what Billy had found. Billy bought Wyatt his own snack, but somehow that little hand kept sneaking over and eating our chips and guacamole…. He of course was welcome to them, it had just never crossed our mind he would want it!
A short little outing, but we enjoyed some good tunes and family time. We are looking forward to next year – and hopefully a cooler, breezier day!
Great shots and great moments. I can see the beckoning arms of that tree, ready to dance with joy! Thanks for sharing, and here are MY SATURDAY SNAPSHOTS

Nice! I love a kite festival, although the one over here in Grand Haven I’ve missed the last couple years. Glad you guys had a good time despite the weather. And food trucks- yum.

I love food trucks! Belle isle is actually hosting a giant food truck rally in November, for the Guinness world record. The largest food truck rally in the world! We are planning on going of course lol.

Is it bad to touch a fuzzy caterpillar?

A lot of times it means they are venomous, enough to be painful and cause a rash. 😬 This one is one of the venomous types.
