Blocktoberfest

Julie, my co-cruise director and neighborhood event planner, and I organized our 2nd Blocktoberfest this year.  It was a success!  With the leaves changing and the colder weather coming, we had all the makings of a good time.

First ingredient was kids who loved to play with each other....

Add two crockpots of chili, cornbread and all the fixin's for the adults, and crockpot of hotdogs for the kids.  And wait!  You can't forget tons of yummy Autumn Octoberfest beer.  We had a beer tasting! 

 The kids wrapped up in blankets and chairs and watched an outdoor movie...

And the moms of Graham Cove got a chance to hang out!

Afterwards, we roasted smores with our fire pit.  See Patrick?  For $40 from Home Depot, that thing has paid itself off numerous times already!

Everyone brought food or beer or something, and it was a truly a neighborhood celebration.  We're already talking about Halloween party....so grateful that we're building community on our street.  This is a wonderful place to live and I'm so grateful to God that He lead us here to this street!
