Each year our home owners association hosts a party for the neighborhood. They block off an entire section of streets, set up a huge tent with food, and a playground area for the kids. Normally its hosted on a weekend when we are out of town. Luckily we were around this year and able to attend.
When Katie got up from her nap we headed over to her friend Noah's house to meet up with his parents and little sister. Then, we all walked over to the party together. Since Noah lives right across the street - he and Katie are buddies and play together often. As usual, they had a blast together at the block party playing with jump ropes, bouncy balls, frisbees, and several other games. Their favorite part of the afternoon was when the ice cream truck arrived. They both got to pick out their very own ice cream. After all the kids had made their selection, we lined them up on the curb....letting them all eat their treats together.
I've tried to prepare Katie for the upcoming move and the fact that she won't see Noah very much after we relocate. She says "yeah, I'll miss Noah when we leave." But, I really don't think she gets it. So sad to separate these two pals....and Matt and I are going to miss Chris and Laura (Noah and Marley's mom & dad). Just hoping we can make new friends in our new neighborhood, and Katie will find new compatible playmates.
