Last 4th of July, one of our neighbors decided to have a little street get together so everyone could meet and let the kids make some new friends. Madeleine and I were still in the hospital - but John and James both had a great time. Since it was such a hit last year, we all decided to do an even bigger one this year, and earlier in the year so it would not be so hot out. We all pitched in and rented a bounce house for the kids, got a permit to block off part of the street and brought out food in shifts. Neighbors started gathering at 11am and John and I finally went home around 1130pm even though most everyone else was still going strong... so I think it is fair to say that it was a successful street party.
Notice that James went through 3 outfits... between the sprinkler, all the bikes, scooters and food - he was a mess more than once. The best part was that we had to walk 20 yards to get home to change him.
And since we only had to walk 20 yards to get home... we were able to put the kids to bed and take the baby monitor out with us :) We gave the dogs some rawhides and told them they were on kid duty.
