Happy 4th of July! We had a great day with the Del Vecchios at their block party. Our own block is pretty quiet lately since most of the kids are getting older. There are a few of us with young kids, so maybe things will kick back up in the future, but the Del Vecchios are within bike riding distance from us, so we have adopted their block to celebrate the 4th with! The boys were napping, so they missed the bike parade, but we headed over there around 1pm, and the boys enjoyed some time in the pool.
Zak and Jack took aim at the poor blow up pool animals, who didn't stand a chance!
This was our first year participating in the water balloon fun. We helped fill up some balloons the night before. In total, we probably filled around 1,000 balloons between us, Jody and Adam and Adam's parents, and we were feeling pretty good about our contribution. It turns out that the neighbors were much more dedicated....so the estimated total number of water balloons thrown this day was 18,000!!!!!
Here's the kid's water balloon fight- for ages 12 and under only since the "Grown-ups" can get carried away.

Jack did such a great job on his bike!
The kids waiting in line for the pinata. Lucky for Jack and Zak, they were among the smallest so were at the front of the line. 
Nice swing!
