I've mentioned it before on our blog and have reason, yet again, to make the claim that we live on the best street ever! We recently had our first ever block party and it was a huge success. It was wonderful to hang out with neighbors that we already know and also get to know some of the other not-so-familiar faces a bit better. Despite the huge storm that blew in during the middle of the party and having a 4 year old stuck inside in front of the tv with a terrible fever, we managed to sneak in a little bit of fun outside. Leah enjoyed running free throughout the street, jumping in the giant bouncy house, and decorating her bike for the "parade". Joel was just happy to be outside taking it all in. Poor Caleb missed out on seeing the firetruck and ambulance that came by for a visit, watching a movie outside (our neighbors hooked up their projector right in front of our garage), and playing like crazy with his neighborhood buddies...but he really didn't seem to mind much because he was allowed to stay inside and watch tv all day long! All in all, we had a blast together and I'm already looking forward to doing it again next summer!
