Summer Solstice

We got the idea from our friend Rachelle, who lives up the street..so... because it involved planning a fun party...we DID it!! Tuesday was the summer solstice so we invited a bunch of neighbors, family, and friends over to our street. Everyone brought food to share and something to bbq. It was 105 degrees so we had a blow up pool or slip and slide on a couple lawns. The kids had a blast playing. We rented a snow cone machine and I took the kids to the store earlier in the week to pick out all the snow cone syrup. Everyone loved having a yummy and very cool treat! Andy filled up 100 water balloons and they were all gone in a matter of 2 minutes. Despite the heat we all hung out until dark. The kids ended the evening doing cannonballs into the muddy water in the blow up pool. Hearing them laugh was priceless!! We are going to miss all our family and friends a bunch this summer, so we were happy to have everyone together before we leave for our family adventure on the road!!!
