Delaware City Day

We heard about Delaware City Day the day we heard of Delaware City, and the hype about this day did not end there.  We have looked forward to this celebration ever since we moved here.  On July 20th, at last, it arrived.  With no small amount of skepticism, Tyler and I loaded Hannah into her stroller and strolled down to see what all of the hullabaloo was about.  

I must admit, we were impressed!  They had a great parade, fun food stalls, and fantastic activities for kids.  Hannah got to see a real live goat (she loved it) and hear about 28 firetrucks (she didn't love it).

Watching the Parade.  One of the floats threw a little ball to Dad for Hannah.  They both loved it :).
Hannah also played her first ever carnival game and won!  (Okay, so the tagline was "Everyone Wins!" but still, she did a great job fishing a yellow ducky winner out of that water.)

They also had an impressive fireworks display that alas we missed due to rain.  This only means one thing: Delaware City Day, we will come again!
