The moonbounces (apparently now they are called bouncies?). An hour later they were filled with jumping kids!

Block Party
Almost 400 people came to our neighborhood block party! This year was a western theme and it was really fun. We had a bunch of activities for the kids (pony rides, pumpkin decorating, line dancing and more) and it was catered by a local restaurant I love. I am so lucky that my neighborhood is so close and everyone makes an effort to know their neighbors.

Wow, you must have a huge neighborhood! Sounds like a great family event. Did Miss Kate take a pony ride too? :)
ReplyDeleteWOW! I always thought block parties happened only in the movies. ;)
ReplyDeleteWhat an awesome neighborhood block party!!! The neighborhood I grew up in had one as well, but it was nothing like this. Awesome :)

ReplyDeleteThis so reminds me of when I was little. I used to love block parties!! We had jumping castles... awww, sigh* Hope they do these whenever I become a mommy, xxxooo
ReplyDeleteMy neighborhood does that too! We are v. lucky to live in real communities :)
ReplyDeleteWe do that here too. They call them "jump houses" in Northern California but it's fun by any other name etc...
ReplyDeletei've always called them a "moon walk" but i think it is fading because my niece and nephew never know what i am talking about! haha looks like you had a great time!!
ReplyDeleteBlock parties are a blast, great to see people involved in community! Xo
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun time. I wish our neighborhood did this. Have a great weekend.
ReplyDeleteWow that looks like so much fun! Would love a block party like that. My daughter would be bouncing all day long in those bouncy houses! (-;
ReplyDeleteSo cute! I wish my neighborhood did something like that! We do have an Oktoberfest where there is free food, kegs, and boxed wine. Yours looks like much more fun though!
ReplyDeleteThat looked like a fabulous block party - what fun (for everyone too!)!
