Upper Dublin Community Day

Every other year,

our township has a large Community Day.

My husband as the burglar. 

We have lived in Upper Dublin since 1991

and this is the FIRST one we have gone too.

I have no idea why it took us so long.

? I didn't ask. 

We had a great time,

bumping in to many friends and former neighbors.

Actually, that was the BEST part.

My son's best buddy since kindergarten. 

He was manning the high school ice hockey booth.

It was like a big Upper Dublin Community Reunion.

 Folks from the church we attend teaching kids to shoot guns. 

Sorry, I just couldn't resist.  Really, it was just a game.

We were pleasantly surprised with all of the participants 

offering information, presentations, and samples.

It makes me think, 

we really should have attended these when the kids were little.

 But we were probably too busy with diapers and soccer games to think about it.

And I probably pictured more of a carnival than 

a real community day. 

Kids + Carnivals = Headaches

Our community has a rich cultural heritage. 

(We always joke that back to school night is like going 

to a United Nations Meeting of some sort.)

 I really appreciate our community. 

Like many, it has its faults, 

but Upper Dublin really has been a great place to live. 

I think I will have to be sure to attend the 

2014 Community Day. 

After that, we may be moving on out...

the kids will all be out of school. 

It will be time for a new adventure.
