Block Party

Yesterday, we had our neighborhood block party. It was such a blast! While we were there we ran into our neighbors, which made it even more fun. Jacob loves spending time with his friend Emma - from the first minute they saw each other they were racing off together, holding hands. I loved spending time with Emma's mom Jamie, and Nick always enjoys speaking with Michael, Emma's Dad. We went around to all the booths together. They had some fire trucks/emergency vehicles, some maintenance vehicles, and lots of food. They also had a place were the kids could make a rocket and then shoot it off. The nice woman at the table gave Emma and Jacob a big hint - the rockets went higher if you cut the tails to triangles. Boy, did they fly high!!

Sam had a good time too - his favorite part was dancing to the music while Jacob was in the bounce house! Here is a sampling of his moves:




(P.S. Ok, so I honestly thought that I rotated this when I edited it in imovie. I was wrong, and am apparently too lazy to change it. Feel free to ignore the video of Sam. Also, please forgive the pictures, they were taken with my phone and not my camera!)
