We hosted our first block party!

Cassie and I really wanted to get to know our neighbors better, so what better way than to throw a block party! It was a great success. Throughout the day we probably had around 50 people show up and join in the festivities. You'll be happy to know we have wonderful neighbors and WAY more kids than we previously thought, so Harlow will have plenty of friends growing up here. It was a potluck style party so there was plenty of food and drinks...


...We had water balloons and marshmallow guns for the kids, and then we set up a large screen on the front of our house in the evening and finished the night off with an outdoor movie. We showed a classic, The Goonies.
We all had an amazing time getting to know one another, and it's been really nice walking down the street lately and saying hi to all the new people we know. They always thank us for organizing the event and tell us how appreciative they are. Everyone is now looking forward to this being a tradition every year! Although, they would like us to do a couple more outdoor movie nights before the summer is over.
