We have lived on Cherry Lane for nine years and have had block parties almost every summer. This year's theme was Mad, Mad Science.
This year, we got permission from the city to close down our street.
We always have great food.
We lined up the barbeques in the street and grilled...
grilled...
grilled.
Then we lined up at the food table and...
ate...
ate...
ate.
Every year, we have a water balloon fight, but this year we just put sprinklers in the middle of the road and played.
We even played in the gutter.
As I mentioned, this year's theme was Mad, Mad Science, so we experimented with Mentos and Coke. The kids had a blast.
Check out this fountain of coke. It's taller than the kids.
Of course come of the kids had to catch the fountain of Coke in their mouths.
They started drinking the Coke straight out of the bottle, but we put a stop to that pretty fast. No kid should be drinking that much Coke.
It was fun to visit with friends,
reunite with loved ones,
and see everyone's smiling faces.
We will have to come back every year to host more Cherry Lane Block parties.
so cute! Thanks for always being the "party masters"! I hope someone else will step up now that you're leaving. Let us know when you come for a visit and we can plan something!
