End of the Schoolyear Party!

When we bought our house, there was nothing in our neighborhood but a of couple half-built model homes, surrounded by mud, dirt, and weeds for miles and miles.  We just had a good feeling about the neighborhood, despite it's sketchy beginnings when we bought our house.  Almost 7 years have passed and now it's obvious that those good feelings we had were right.  Our neighborhood is beautiful, huge, and has the most fun, friendly people.  Some of our friends started a tradition last year on the last day of school to have a big block party.  We did it again this year, and it was so fun.  We got a bunch of pizzas, the kids ate popsicles, and there was a water balloon fight.  One of our neighbors set up her huge blow-up water slide, and we organized some races with bikes and plasma scooters.  And us moms sat and chatted while our kids had tons of fun.  Perfect!

She was obsessed with this scooter.  I don't know who it belonged to, but they were nice enough to let her ride it the whole two hours we were there.



Lining up for the races!
