Block Party

Today was or neighborhood block party. We usually have one every year and it is so fun to mingle with the neighbors and the kids always have a good time. This year Jason was on the committee he got to plan some of the events. They decided to do a carnival theme. I will have to admit it turned out awesome. Good job!!

We blocked off the street so no traffic could get in. We had tons of good food and plenty of fun things to keep everyone entertained.

Talan getting ready to go down the water slide. The kids had so much fun playing in the 3 bounce houses.

Talan climbing up the high staircase. The first time he went down he thought it was so much fun, but the second time

I think his face tells the whole story.

The only bad part about the party was that the skies where partly cloudy and we had some rain and wind. So if you were wet it was cold.

Jason was in charge of the dunk tank and Talan was so excited to get it filled up with water and try it our. Waiting was so hard.

Another activity they had was balloon animals.

Talan wanted a blue dog on a leash and he had them make a sword for his brother.

Finally the dunk tank was ready to go.

Talan did a great job. He hit the bulls eye every time he had a turn.

However, he couldn't hit it hard enough so he got to walk up and push on the button.

The party also had face painting.

They asked Talan if he wanted BYU or Utah. Talan picked the U, which surprised me because he will usually pick anything that is blue.

The party also had a football toss which was fun to watch.

 What was Lincoln doing durning the party? Having a nap with his favorite duck blanket.

I love the yearly block party and hope that it will remain a tradition in our neighborhood for many years to come.
