Block Party

Saturday afternoon we gathered the troops for our annual neighborhood block party! We alternate years to host on our end of the street or the other end and this year was our turn so we broke out John's Bog BBQ, the bouncy, water balloons, bobbing for apples and lots of beer for a rocking good time. It was the best party- especially since we didn't have to go anywhere! We've been working on the backyard all weekend so this was a great diversion and pretty easy too :) We are very lucky to have such fun neighbors!

Nothing says summer like a cooler full of water balloons

well, maybe the ice cream truck on a hot afternoon
