I really thought today was all about bringing the cows out to pasture. Apparently it has a socialist undertone and some kids just use it as a day to party. According to wikipedia,
May Day is related to the Celtic festival of Beltane and the Germanic festival of Walpurgis Night. May Day falls exactly half of a year from November 1, another cross-quarter day which is also associated with various northern European pagan and neopagan festivals such as Samhain. May Day marks the end of the uncomfortable winter half of the year in the Northern hemisphere, and it has traditionally been an occasion for popular and often raucous celebrations.
We went on a bike ride and were a bit late for the Maifest, but Jason still gave a go at climbing the May pole...
welcome summer!!
