Drew participated in the annual Old Dover Days Celebration the first week of May. The fourth graders at his school held tryouts for the Maypole routine, and Drew was picked to be in it. There was a parade, followed by the Maypole dancing. It was a pretty nice day out, could've been a little warmer, but overall we had a great time seeing a little more of Dover.

The church was built way back in the late 1700's, I believe. There's a bit of old and new to see in the courtyard.

These are some of the old buildings still being used in downtown Dover!

The backend of Drew and his partner! Some RUDE folks jumped right in front of us as the kids were walking by, so we didn't get a closer look!

One of these red tractors, I'm not sure which one, is an Edwards family tractor!
