Summer Fun

Every Summer we try and do neighborhood BBQ's.  They started out pretty small last year, sometimes with only a couple families, but our kick-off BBQ this year was awesome.  We had about seven families there.  We actually came a little late as we were coming from a family BBQ earlier that day...this was on Memorial Day...and it was so fun to drive home and see everyone outside.

 Of courser the kids ran right to the garage to get their trikes and bikes.  We've had some more kids move into the neighborhood...all boys too and Logan has been loving it.

 Here are some of the boys ready to take off down the street.  It was so fun to be able to see them just play and ride around and have fun.  It reminds me a lot more of being a kid and being able to just go play and have fun.

 One of our neighbors had some extended family join the BBQ, so that boosted the numbers too.

 It was a good way to get to know the new neighbors a little more too.

 I hope Meghan doesn't mind my posting this, Adam is such a cutie and my boys love him.  Up until recently, he's been the closest in age to my boys.

 We had a lot of fun catching up with everyone all the happenings.  We all sort of hibernate during the winter, so it's fun to get to see everyone out and about again.

 Of course you gotta have burger and dogs for it to be a BBQ.  :)

 There was a great spread of food too.  Lots of yummy desserts and dishes. 

 A while back we got some donated bowling pins for an activity, so we brought them out and the kids had a ball (haha) setting them up and knocking them over.

 I think Tragon and Damon loved that the most.

 We also had to break out the Snitch Pitch (Ladderball if you prefer).  Luckily this time, there were no bloody noses.  :)

 Logan's new buddy that just lives up the street.  He's so excited to have more boys his age around.

 He was out riding his scooter earlier, hence the helmet.  Usually when the boys have been riding, they end up wearing the helmet for the rest of the day.

Lots of summer fun.  We're looking forward to more BBQ's and more good weather.
