Super Saturday!!

      Why do all the fun things have to happen on the same day?  That always happens to me...nothing will be happening for weekend after weekend- then every fun activity converges all on the same day.  Oh well, we decided to take advantage of this very occurrence last Saturday and hit every fun activity advertised for the day!!  And it was the BEST super Saturday EVER!!

        I really love going to the John Dickinson house which is five minutes from our house.  John Dickinson was a founding father and a signer of the constitution- and his house is absolutely beautiful.  Every four years there is a John Dickinson festival, where they celebrate and showcase colonial times and John Dickinson's life!!  We couldn't miss it!! Here are the kids playing a colonial game with sticks and a ring...it was actually a lot of fun!!

 Here is the fam in front of the beautiful old house!!

 We learned about how they smoked and preserved their meat to last the whole year!!! It was so interesting to see how they lived back in the day!! Here is Jane seasoning the meat...

 We got to see a magic show.  The magician and was so funny and so authentic- I was really impressed :) Jane got picked to be their special assistant.  She was super cute:)

 Next we saw a "Punch and Judy" show.  The kids thought it was so funny :)

 Then, we were off to the  Dover AFB Firehouse!!  We got lunch and we learned about fire safety :)

 The coolest part of the firehouse was being able to see a helicopter take off right in front of us!! The kids thought it was amazing!! 

 Next, we were off to the Air Plane museum for the military appreciation day!!  Free food, bouncy houses and best of all, face paint!!  We had a blast...

 It may have been exhausting...but it was a GREAT day full of many wonderful memories!!!
