Block Party!

Saturday night we had the very first T***** Street Block Party!

It was the first year and so we started off small. We got ourselves a little committee together and finally settled on a date. Getting a date that would worked for those of us on the committee was the hardest part.

We decided to keep it small to see what kind of turnout we got! And there was a great response.

We started it at 6:30 (after the dinner hour) and had an Ice Cream Sundae theme. Those of us on the committee brought the ice cream and we had each family bring a topping or two along with their lawn chairs. We blocked off the road and let the kids play in the street! This part was a HUGE hit! We even had a kids movie playing after it got dark along with very fun glow sticks!

I definitely think a good time was had by all......take a look, wouldn't you agree!

Playing in the street was the best part....for the kids!


Jane & Papa....remember they live on T Street too!


The group is starting to gather!


We had "razor" races in the street!


Charlie LOVED all the attention too!


Just hangin out with friends!


Racing....


and more racing!


Then the big girls got their chance!

Sawyer was laying in the street.....at first I thought he was hurt.....
but he was laying there....just because he could!


We had lots of little cuties! (Just like this one!)
