End of Summer Strreet party!

We had a wild and crazy, fun party last week to celebrate the end of summer on our street!  We rented a huge bouncy slide from 10am -10pm and we played on it all day long!

The kids were in their swimming suits for almost 11 hours and they never came inside the whole day.  They used the bathroom at Grandma Shields house because she lived closer to the slide. 

During the day everyone played on the slide and ate!  We ordered pizza for lunch, made popcorn, cotton candy, snow cones etc... Then for dinner everyone on the street had a big BBQ complete with homemade ice-cream! 

The day was perfect weather, not too hot.  Even the teenagers had their time on the slide.  The best was after dinner all the kids were kicked off the slide and the adults all played on it.  It was hilarious to watch the mom's & dad's race down the slide and get soaking wet.  It was tons of fun, Danny and I went down several times each! ( too bad I didn't get any pics. of the adults, I was too busy getting wet!)

Isaac earned his "Shiver Shack" by pretty much being totally potty trained!  He is doing great, and I am so happy!

Go Natalie! I know you are thrilled about me posting this picture! HA HA!

It was such a fantastic day, everyone was exhuasted by dark, and ready for bed.  We love our neighborhood and all of our friends and neighbors.  We feel so blessed to live in such a great community!
