How often do you get to tell a kid to go play in the road?

For us, it is once a year. Our block actually closes off and we get to hang on the street. Lily is getting to like it more and more each year. There is a moon bounce which is so scary for Mommy to watch but Lily really enjoys it.


The next picture cracks me up. It really looks like she is going to bust into some serious hip hop moves....errr, I mean, she totally did and it was awesome. What? You weren't there, it could have happened. That is her friend Lauren in the neighborhood a few months older than her. We have had quite the influx of children moving into our neighborhood and a lot are around 2 years old...oh, and another Bowers with a two year old. Posers, I am sure. ( :

This is our neighbor/friend Michael who is the reason most of the cool things happen on our street. He is great and organizes the whole thing.

Moon bounce!

Again, walking down the middle of the street.....totally acceptable. Now, on to changing that short lived exception.
