We REALLY lucked out when we found our house, and not just because of the house itself...but because of the neighborhood and our wonderful neighbors!!!
Our Subdivision is one that I always DREAMED of when I was a kid!
There are about 70 houses, our roads are privately owned and there is only one way in and out....so, every night (and day too!) everyone comes outside, all the kids are playing, riding their bikes, scooters, power wheels...and whatever other contraption you can think of. They are playing with sidewalk chalk... which becomes "street" chalk, playing in their pools, or slip'n slides. All the parents sit out and talk. It is just GREAT!
The first Saturday in August our sub had its annual block party. It was set up in the back of the neighborhood and we blocked off the street. We have 3 roads in the sub and each one was responsible for bringing either appetizers, salads, or desserts, then our association paid for the hamburgers, hot dogs, etc.
We rented a bounce house for the kids, there were games for the kids AND adults...Joe participated in "hillbilly golf" sooo FUNNY! But actually a pretty cool game!
Everyone brought their chairs and coolers! We even had a bonfire when it got dark! It was SUCH a great time and hopefully great memories for the kids this year and in the years to come

Another event we had was a water balloon fight that took place in our back yard. These pictures are the before,...I should have taken the after, but I was too busy consoling hurt children... too many "big" kids on one team. But it WAS a lot of fun!
