Block Party

Our neighborhood is pretty small - 36 houses total.  All our houses are close together, and there are a handful of "common areas" scattered throughout the neighborhood.   This past Saturday, on one of those grassy patches of common area, we had a neighborhood Block Party, complete with grills, kiddie pools, water tables, and a big bouncy house for the kids.  (It should be noted that of the 36 houses here, most of them have multiple children living in them...you should see this place at Halloween! ) 

In addition to all those things set up for family fun, we also had a bike parade for the kids!  Oh my goodness, they were SO excited!!  They all decorated their bikes/tricycles/push cars with streamers, balloons, flags, flowers...whatever they could get attached (I saw a Cookie Monster doll tied to one little boy's ride).  They paraded up and down the street around orange street cones -made it very official that way, hehe.  At the end they were all awarded with...what else?  CANDY!!  It was a great time for all the families there and I feel so lucky to live in a neighborhood bursting with little ones :-)
