Our Block Party

Some of our neighbors threw a block party on Saturday. It is the third year in a row that they have done it. When we got the invite, the time said from 2pm-11pm and we thought "what are they going to do for 9 hours?" Around 2pm, we looked up our street and saw a fire truck parked there and some firemen standing around it. Danny took Alyssa up to check it out.
We don't know who had the connections, but it was there for maybe an hour for the kids to come and sit in and talk to the firemen.
Alyssa loved being able to sit inside of it and pretend she was driving it.
They also rented one of those inflatable bounce houses for the kids that was up starting around 2. They had food, music, some lawn games and I think someone put together a mini obstacle course for the kids but we missed that. We went up around 5:30 and stayed till about 8. It was a nice chance to meet some of our neighbors. Danny even got an invite to watch the UFC fights that night at one of the houses. This is just one of the many reasons why we love our neighborhood, especially our street.
