We did:
Hula hoop contest (which Teddy ALWAYS wins). He can literally hula hoop for hours.
Then there was water balloon toss--which is hands-down the kid favorite! My boys spend a good part of the morning filling them up. I'm not kidding when I say there were hundreds!
Then there was the egg on a spoon race.
With a lot of this all over the street when it was over!
And the local fire department brought a truck over for the kids to play on.
Pickle does the fire helmet and pearls very well!
Here she is on the truck:
And finally--this child was carrying around the largest cup I have ever seen! Does anyone need this much beverage??
I'm going to crawl off to bed now--but I also want to say thank you for all the sweet words about poor Bunny Dumpling--I really appreciate it!!

Gosh...I want to live on the street where you live...but then I would be the blogstalker!
Looks like a lot of fun was had by everyone!
What FUN! These days, whenever I see one of those red-carpet events where the buzz is all about what the celebrities are wearing, I half expect to see Pickle smiling for the cameras in her latest stunning outfit.
I wish our neighborhood had a block party and you were there to organize the games!
You make me wish I had a 'hood again.
We left a great neighborhood behind and came to a property that is still an a neighborhood but very isolated. I have literally no neighbors even though we are surrounded by them. The only houses meeting our property have bachelors.
I miss women neighbors that hug you and notice your hair is just a slighly different shade than the last time.
I miss women neighbors that say "I love what you did with your gardens this year."
I miss women neighbors that nod knowingly when your husband is trying to do something without reading the directions.
I DO NOT miss other women's children at all hours of the day collecting at my house and eating my snacks and using my bathroom.
Whew. Great post and if I was going back to a 'hood I would wanna be in your 'hood and your children could come in and eat and pee and I wouldn't care.
Holy crap,that cup is huge! I hope there wasn't soda in it, he would be awake bouncing off the walls and peeing for days!
fun fun fun!
This looks like a great time!
I bet you're exhausted.
(And, I'm so sorry to hear about Bunny Dumpling. You were an angel for rescuing her.)
That looks like tons of fun, I wanna live where you live.
That cup is almost as big as that kid! Looks like fun!
Fun party! Stop by for an award on my blog!
Oh what fun -- Wish we lived by yall. They don't have nothing like that here. I love the water ballons. Much Love to yall!
How wonderful your neighborhood does a yearly block party!!! It looks like the kids had a lot of fun...Pickle was way too cute on the firetruck!!
Looks like fun!
I haven't tried a hula hoop in ages.
We have a block party but it isn't nearly as cool as yours! Looks like a blast!
Sorry to hear about your bunny.
See? Another reason I want you to adopt me ;)
OMG Pickle and the Pearls...just adorable, she's a living doll.
you are so lucky to live in such a neigborhood! It sounds like a great time, and as always, I LOVE the pics.
