Derby Days

Growing up we had this fun little town holiday called Big Hat Day.. I don't know what it celebrated... (maybe I should research into it).. but I didn't care.. I loved all the festivities that weekend had to offer. Well much like that they have a fun holiday here called Derby Days. Once again, I don't know the purpose.. but it sure was fun! We enjoyed an awesome Pancake breakfast put on by the fire department (fire trucks are one of Gavins favorite things at the moment) and then watched the town parade. Anyone could register to be in it and ride their bike.. I wished Gavin was older... he really would have loved to be the center of attention! The rest of the day was full of Carnival rides, yummy food booths, and bounce houses. I think Gavin's favorite part though was the bike race. He cheered and giggled as the rode past over and over as the circled the streets. It made me realize how much I love little towns and hope to live in on permanently someday!
