National Night Out - Another Fun Night!

Our party was lots of fun! We had a great turnout and everyone seemed to enjoy themselves.
The bounce house showed up a few minutes late, but the delivery man let us keep it an extra hour. It was full of kids the entire time and I saw a lot of exhausted faces at the end of the evening. Despite being called to a brush fire, Graham Fire still managed to send a truck over. They showed up with lights and sirens and let the kids climb on the truck. They even brought out the hose for a little water entertainment :) Jim came armed with Coast Guard coloring books and whistles for the kids. The noise level increased slightly when the kids received their whistles!
Chris did the grilling from our house and I ran burgers and hot dogs to the park as quickly as I could. Neighbors did a fantastic job with the food: we had a huge assortment of side dishes, chips, desserts, and drinks. I don't think there was much left over.
Thank you to all who participated and brought food. And huge thanks to Paul and Brandi for allowing us to use their electricity, to Wendy for being my "go-to" girl to make sure things ran smoothly, and to Jodi for working with me during the planning process. We'll definitely do it again next year!

So sorry we missed it but we had a coach pitch event to attend. Looks like it was tons of fun. Can't wait until next years gathering!
