Summer Fun on our Street

We live on an awesome street. As some of you know when we moved into our house 2 1/2 years ago, we were the only ones in the neighborhood. Since that time we have watched all the houses on our street go up and fill up. We are blessed with some wonderful neighbors. All around us are kids. Seriously I mean every house has at least 2-4 kids in it (and those that don't have young kids have tons of grandkids that live close by and come over all the time.) And they vary in age from newborn to 6th grade. And these kids love to play!! So this summer the moms decided to have some organized activities and fun for the kids. We have had Pancakes in PJs parties, outdoor movies, build your own ice cream sundae parties, campouts, water days, block parties & other fun activities. Today was my day to host the fun. I held an outdoor game day. We did water balloons, egg races, tag, red light/green light, potato sack races and lots more. It was tons of fun. After the games the kids all wanted to play in the sprinkler and baby pool so I set it all up and they had tons of fun. 3 hours worth of fun in the blazing heat. Needless to say Ben is still down for a nap! Here are some of the pictures from the fun today!

This is cool. So wish we were moving to H'ville so Abi could play with Ben and your wonderful neighbors.
