a smashing success

This smile says it all!!! Thursday brought food, folks, and fun to the Hirschi House! We helped Jaimee and Brian host a neighborhood block party–which they’ve been itching to do since they moved in over a year ago. Heaven knows it’s been a loooooooooong dreary season–Bear Lake was still frozen over until last week! Finally, we had a break in the weather allowing us to celebrate a belated spring and build friendships with our neighbors. It was such a blast to stand on the deck and watch all 40 or so kids playing in their selective groups:

We had trampers and teeter-totterers:

We had sporty boys and girly girls:

And we had the little ones, of course:

Oh yeah, and the big kids too:

All in all, we had just plain fun:

Thanks for coming everyone! We had a blast….and we hope you did too. Who’s turn is it next??? :)

    40 kids! Yikes. We know live in a retirement community. All three of our immediate neighbors are retired. That’s okay, I wish I was retired, so I fit in.
