School's Out Party!

Today we had a School's Out Party with the kids from the neighborhood! There are a ton of kids on our street and around the corner and we even had a couple friends who are moving soon join us. The plan was to have water balloons, dancing and lots of snacks to go along.


The weather didn't go as planned (imagine that!) and so we couldn't do the water balloon part (notice all the long sleeves? oh I guess not....us adults were wearing the long sleeves!) Well, it was chilly!

And the dancing part, well....all my dancers got a little shy with all the other kids around (what's up with that!) so....they just played!

That's right....they just played!

And you know what?! They seemed to be fine with that!

Just letting kids play without all the fancy dancy planning and games....it actually worked! They figured it out on their own! They actually have imaginations! Holy Cow...it might just be a really great summer!

So here they are....the entire crew! (minus some who were busy today!)

A GREAT group of kids!

a great group shot.....

then two seconds later....ciaos!

And of course, we always have to have a silly shot!

Oh, and we had the snack part down....there was no problem there! Maggie made everyone popcorn with our popcorn machine and we had some yummy ranch pretzels and some punch to make you pucker! It was Perfect!

So on that note....let summer begin!

We're ready whenever you are!
