It ended up being super warm, the traffic was horrible, the lines to checkout were crazy long so we didn’t even leave with any apples. And really – aren’t we always sweating with babies in tow? Haha – but in the heat and humidity I get stressed out quick! We had a similar experience apple picking one year. Oh, girl! I’ve totally had those days before – where I try to force an activity on the family and then I realize it’s all going wrong and if I’m sweating I get so dang cranky. Whether we took a cab or a train we were at least 45 minutes from home.īUT before we left we decided to park it on a bench and cool off and get some lemonade! We got watermelon lemonades for the family and we cooled off and everyone was happy again! Then we made the journey back home and rejoiced in our air conditioned apartment.įunny thing is, our friend Tessa was with us and she was snapping some pics (most of these candids I didn't even realize she was taking!) and when I saw the pictures I was like, "oh wow this looks like such a fun day!" lol! And it was, we had more fun than I'm giving us credit for, minus I am the biggest stressball and stress out to the max when I am hot and sweaty - everything is intensified to me!īut also just a note about Tessa- you know those freakishly talented people who are good at everything? She sings, plays instruments, blogs, is a killer photographer, list goes on. But nothing is more stressful to me than the whole family dripping sweat and not happy and being so far from home. (don't worry, no cakes were touched or harmed in this process.) At that point I was like, okay we just need to go home.
Of course, my two year old wanted to play with the cake! I mean, who doesn't want a piece of cake? So then when I had to pull him away from the cake it was meltdown mode. Which is when we ran into this giant, 5 tier cake beautifully decorated with kites. We decided to scratch the kite flying and just have fun. Luckily a woman let Atticus borrow her ball and we played for a bit. But it was honestly too hot to keep trying and the kids were starting to sweat and get impatient. And it was pretty funny watching what newbies we are with kite flying. Although David did give it a valiant effort and DID get it up in the air for a minute (see the photo above?!) so that was a tiny success. Okay so then we go buy another kite thinking, "its gotta just be this lame kite right?" nah. Atticus was so excited to fly the kite, like shaking he was so excited! So we go to try and fly the kite - nope. We made the journey out to Brooklyn and along the way we lost one of our kites and then as soon as got there we were all instantly sweating (so in other words, we didn't have the odds in our favor.) It was soooo humid that day. The popular candy drop event will take place, time TBD and weather depending, generously donated by the Ferrara Candy Company.You know those ideas you have as a mom and you think, "the kids are going to LOVE this!!"? Well I saw there was a kite festival in Brooklyn and I was so excited to take the kids. Food trucks (Big D's, The Cream King, Sweet Butts Cotton Candy, and Kona Ice) will also be available. Families are welcome to bring their own kite or purchase one on-site (while supplies last).
Music and seasonal activities will also be available. The DeKalb Park District is excited to host the annual DeKalb Kite Fest once again- this event is a great way to enjoy the outdoors and see unique kites! Demonstrate your own flying abilities and watch as our pilots bring you dazzling kite flying displays. UNFORTUNATELY, DUE TO INCLEMENT WEATHER, KITE FEST IS CANCELED Location: DeKalb Kiwanis Park, South 4th Street & Fairview
