4th of July Block Party

We had our annual 4th of July Block party this past weekend and we had another successful year! The kids and parents all had a blast and the best part was that we didn't have to go anywhere! We blocked off the street right outside our house, the guys brought out the BBQ's, the beer and set up some shade, the girls brought yummy food/drinks and this year everyone chipped in and rented a waterslide for the kids. It was another hot day this year, so having that water for the kids (and some of the dads) made all of the difference.
