This Summer has been a healthy mix of travel and hosting guests… which has led to sparse updates here.

Also, I am migrating servers in the next week–Enjoying Toledo may be M.I.A. on your next visit. No worries! We’ll be back with a more posts. In the meantime, step away from your computer and enjoy your Summer in Toledo.

Sunday was the first of what I hope will be many “Kites and Cupcakes” days. A bunch of us gathered at Promenade Park, Downtown with kites of all shapes and sizes. And yes, there were cupcakes too.

I found this owl to be very nice.

R. got creative with a plastic bag. Ingenious!

A bright red bat, flown by J., was perhaps the most successful kite of the day—both visually and in the air. We had a little lack of wind “issue” but she was still able to get her kite pretty high.

Early on, G. caught a snag, but it was nothing a little post-kites cocktail couldn’t fix. And that is how we closed the afternoon.
