Cherapple Block Party!

We live in the best neighborhood and ward. Every year there is a big block party for everyone in our neighborhood. It's a great excuse to get out and eat some good food and hang out with all of our wonderful friends. It seems like every year in the past it has been super hot, but luckily this year we had a perfect day with a little breeze and a few clouds to keep it cool. It always starts off with a bike parade for the little kids and everyone decorates their bikes, scooters, skateboards and Michela decided to do her rollerskates. I love the picture of Chase with the streamers on his handlebars blowing in the breeze as he pedals as fast as he can.



Hunter tried riding his skateboard for a while, but he got too frustrated and ended up at the Cotton Candy table and Snow Cone booth. He was in heaven with a treat in both hands!

Aria loved the snow cones too. I couldn't feed it to her fast enough, she was constantly begging for more.

There was a bounce house, a basketball game and a paper airplane throwing contest. Michela's favorite game was a the cake walk where they were handing out Ding Dongs. She became obsessed with the game and after winning 5 or 6 of the things we told the Primary President to quit picking her number.



Hunter and Chase loved it as well. Here is a picture of Chase caught red handed.

Aria was loving all the people. She went around saying "Hi" to everyone and waving. She loved walking and running all around. She started making me nervous when she would pick up too much speed going down hill because she decided that she didn't need to hold anyone's hand. Little Miss Independent!

There was also a magician/comedian at the party as well. He had our Bishop get up and he put this mask on his face and did like a ventriloquist act with him. He had him say that his name was Sue, so all the kids were calling him "Bishop Sue" all night. He had the Bishop dancing the Hula Disco and calling his wife Hot Lips. The kids were laughing so hard that it had all of the grown ups cracking up too.


By the end of the night we were stuffed with too many treats and tired from all of the running around. Aria was ready to go when I told Mike I hadn't been in any pictures yet. We tried to make her smile, but she wasn't going for it. She's still cute even when she's sad. We had a blast and we can't wait for the party next year.
