On Saturday July 30th we had our annual Meadowbrook Block Party. The road was closed from 10 AM to 9 PM so that the kids could ride their bikes and so they could set up in the street for all the festivities.

There was a "Corn Hole" tournament. Ryan (who has played a few times) and our neighbor Paul (who has never played) were partners.

During the blcok party I only had Emily when she was hungry the rest of the time she was passed from one "grandma" to the next.

And the "Corn Hole" continues. All you have to do for Corn Hole is throw bean bag like bags into holes on the board or make it land on the board to receive points. If you want more details you can click here.

| Ryan is the only one not drinking! |
There were several musical instruments that were available for the kids to play, Nathanial chose the largest drum.
The Championship Round...
 |
| I am afraid to announce that Ryan and Paul lost the Championship. Their team was called "the Swan House" because Paul's house used to have very strange people living there that had a huge fake swan hanging over the front porch. |
 |
| Still drumming |
 |
| Christopher wanting to play the drums too. |
 |
| All the kids playing the drums. I was advised to buy Nathanial a drum, I am not sure about that. |
 |
| Go Nathanial! |
It was a fun day filled with friends and laughter! It was nice to sit and talk with all the ladies and not worry about where the kids were. We have a great neighborhood!
