The day was filled with art projects
Sitting around talking and playing bags and ladder horseshoes. We played group games, had a bouncehouse, and did some things for just the kids. Mostly, we enjoyed our time together.
My dear friend, and next door neighbor,Staci!
Tons of delicious food!
The kids went on a scavenger hunt. Instead of looking for specific items, they had to go all over the neighborhood trying to spot strawberry pieces of paper I had hid in all of our yards. Each big kid was on a team with a little kid. They loved it. Becca helped Amara look through the garden for strawberries.
Sylvia found one on the playstructure
And Alaric found one floating in the pool!
Katlyn and Hannah were so great with Sylvia and Alaric
The bouncehouse is always a big hit!
Some of the little ones
The big kids!
June got out her red fabric tube that she used to use as a special ed teacher to strenghten upper body muscles and challenged everyone to take a turn trying to get through the tube. Easier said than done. Here Katlyn makes her way through
Alaric, who was scared to death to try two years ago- Rallied and was amazing!
If a kid feels comfortable, you can pick up the tube and swing it. Alaric and Alyssa were light enough we could do that with them.
We had a blast- as always with our beloved neighbors! Another successful block party. Jack, June, and Mary got lots of hugs and kisses from everyone. God we are blessed!
