Dover Days!!

Our fun little town happens to be the capitol of the state:) Every year, the first weekend in May we have Dover Days. There are all kinds of festivities. Friday night we met up with friends to see the fireworks over Legislative Hall. The boys had so much fun!

Saturday is the Parade down State Street. We love it! The state governor, city mayor, and others are all decked out in colonial attire. People throw candy...and the boys love it! They also get plastered with political candidate stickers and other fun goodies. This year we even got a beach ball:) And, we got to see the Oscar Meyer Wienermobile...apparently it came all the way from Wisconsin just for the Dover Days parade.

After the parade, we go down to The Green and Legislative Mall where there are fun colonial period games, presentations, plus food vendors and other craft booths and such. The boys liked throwing the egg into the shoe. They also liked to see how strong they were in this fun physics demonstration of the pulley system. It was pretty fascinating.

There is also May Pole dancing. I thought Damon's preschool class was participating in May Pole dancing, but found out they were just having a little program near the May Poles. All the boys were to wear black pants, white shirts, and cute hats. They looked so cute. They even sang really well.

Since it was technically Cinco de Mayo also, we had tacos and chips and salsa with some friends for dinner that night. Damon has gotten really good at riding his bike this week that he was able to ride over to our friends house. He loved it! We had a great weekend!
