Dover Days and More

The first weekend in May is always Dover Days. We love Dover Days! Friday night we go watch fireworks downtown. We ran into some friends and the kids had fun playing tag before the fireworks started. Always so fun. Saturday is the parade. We went to our usual spot in the morning. We were sad that none of our friends could join us, but we had a blast. Hannah enjoyed waving at everyone and getting candy, flags, balloons, sunglasses and more. She eventually lost interest and kept Barrett on his toes. The boys filled 2 lunch baggies with candy from the parade! We went down to the festivities and ran into some friends, but had to part ways to get Tommy ready for his preschool performance. He looked awesome! 

She found Daddy's hat:)

 Our church participated in the parade this year and asked for volunteers to dress in pioneer clothing to help pull handcarts. These are some of our friends! They wanted to put our kids in the handcarts and pull them:)

 Tommy got these cool shades at the parade and put them right on:)

 How could we pass up a picture of Tommy as a hot dog at the Oscar Meyer weinermobile?!

 Hannah was exhausted and slept through most of Dover Days...well, after the parade. Tommy thought it was funny that her piggie tail was sticking up.

 Tommy's preschool sang some fun songs down on The Green in colonial gear. Super cute.

 I love this picture!! Tommy is the best!

 All his parade candy!

 Damon lost his 8th tooth! 

We also discovered that Tommy's 2 front bottom teeth are growing in. With a double row of teeth, we now call him Shark Boy:)

I had been driving Barrett's little car all week since my breaks were getting bad. Barrett was able to change the breaks on the van Saturday afternoon. Then, we went and cleaned the church. We stopped by Fifer's on the way home which ended up being 20 minutes before they closed. Barrett picked out a peach pie and Tommy wanted apple cider donuts. Well, since they're closed on Sundays, the donuts ended up being free because they wouldn't be able to sell them in time. Awesome. Fifer's store had been remodeled too and it was really fun to walk around and explore. We sure miss that place in the winter!

We had a great weekend. Dover Days is always fun, but it was even Barrett that didn't have to go into work!!
