Hey, Mac Fams!
Happy July! Summer is in full swing and we are enjoying all of the simple joys of this season. Produce is plentiful, pool time has been nice, the beach is buzzing - the energy is nice. Plus I have more opportunities to eat ice cream in the summertime!
June’s Macaroni Kid Storytime and Ice Cream Social at Tre Sorelle Dolce’s ice cream stand was a HIT! There were a few pics posted on Facebook here. There seemed to be a lot of interest in this type of event and it was well attended. Moms chatted, kids danced, played, and bounced on inflatables sponsored by Bounce Around. Of course the ice cream treats were just an all around win for everyone! Wait, I’m picking up on a theme here...
We also have had the pleasure of checking out Capital City Farmers’ Market in Downtown Dover for the last couple of weeks. It’s such a nice outing for kid entertainment and lunch. Each week there is a storytime, games, and free kids’ lunches. In addition to these regular activities, the market hosts more great activities for kids such as yoga, cooking demos, crafts, and special storytime guests. Today they’re having a super hero costume contest! There are yummy lunch options from various food vendors and the produce is always top notch. I love being able about to hear about our food from each farmer first hand. In our highly digital and convenient world, there’s just something about being able to show my appreciation to each farmer and business by purchasing their goods from them directly. We love stopping in the local shops in Downtown Dover because there are so many treasures to be found. I consider these visits a lesson in entrepreneurship and economics for my daughter. She loves it! Bonus: Treats galore around this place!
