neighborhood fun

I realized recently that we do not have enough pictures of our ordinary wonderful moments with our neighbors. We are already feeling sick over leaving this neighborhood in a few months. We love it here!  

The weather was perfect yesterday afternoon. We invited a few kids over to ride bikes and shoot alka seltzer rockets.  It was such a beautiful day!  Sundays do not get much better than this one!

Beautiful Mandy with angelic Soren and Lexey.

Adding Remy and JoJo to the picture.


We were having fun with the kids doing alka seltzer rockets in old film canisters when out of nowhere we started getting pelted with darts. Lo and behold Mike is up on his roof staging an attack.  Myles went after him with the hose but Mike had the high ground and was basically untouchable.
 I attempted to get some pictures of the girls but they were not in the mood to stand still!




 Darling Jo


I bumped a setting on the camera so the rest of the pictures are blue tinted. Sorry!

The boys daring Mike to jump off the roof.

Dave's turn!  Dave jumped right into a pile of fresh dog poop! Such a bummer!




Next the dads and kids played an intense game of hide and seek. Basically it went like this: "kids you go hide. When we find you we are going to torture you"...then they had fun planning the torture...water, silly string, tickles.

The first victims were Warren and Lexey. Calvin was a great sidekick to the dads in hunting down the kids.






Clare and Ellie went way down the street and around the corner to hide. So it  took the boys (by boys, I mean the men, but they were acting like boys so from henceforth we will just call them the boys) a long time to find them. The rode off on their bikes and they were gone maybe 20 minute.  The girls were hiding in some strangers yard way down the street.



The last one to be captured was Brinley. She had a hideout in Mike and Mandy's yard. Calvin helped spray her and then decided to go big and dump the entire spray bottle on her. She was pretty upset so she took her revenge by punching her dad in the bullseye. I'd say with that single move she won the game!





Mike wanted to demonstrate the muscle up one more time but it didn't go quite as planned.

Warren is cute as ever!


Warren eventually found his piece of heaven watching Lexey play wii U.
