Block Party

Block Party 2009! Wow! Unbelievable! We had so many neighbors show up to this years block party! It was so exciting. What was most amazing was how God answered our prayers. The forecast for Friday night was not good...they were predicting 90% chance of rain...so I had the kids pray with us that it wouldn't rain from 5-9. Well the sprinkles started at 10:00! Amazing! What was really cool was to use this to show the kids God does answer prayer. Even the other day we were at the table and Isaac was telling about that time God answered our prayer..he remembered what happened at the block party! So cool!


To start the night we had a bike parade. We split the kiddos into 3 age groups. Here is the oldest group.
