Our block is small, but we can get together and throw a mean party! We found that out when the 4th of July was approaching. One neighbor suggested we rent a bounce house, then another suggested a keg, and yet another suggested fireworks. It turned into a whole neighborhood potluck, party in the street.
The huge bounce house that was suddenly outside our house.
The boys tried out the bounce house before the party started.
I think they enjoyed their trial!
The neighbors bought a little water themed entertainment for the afternoon.
A little less coordinated than his big brother.
But just as bright of a smile!
Jonathan was loving the splashing!
Matt's frequently used attempt at a pouty face when he sees me armed with my camera.
The real expression!
Sweet treats were abundant!
At one point we couldn't figure out where Matt had gone. Apparently he had invited himself in to one of the neighbors houses and was putting on a concert for the entire extended family!
Let the craziness begin!
Sparklers!
The kids weren't sure what to do.
The gathering started to watch the dads have their little kid fun with fireworks!
The kids had a blast sitting back and watching the fireworks in the street, but nothing was better than hearing them laugh collectively at the noises and craziness that surrounded them that night!
It was a good day, turned into a good night. We were even able to walk to the park in our neighborhood and enjoy some of the fireworks at the pier. We lucked out with our house, for sure!
