National Night Out

Our neighborhood had a big party for National Night Out. Last year we had an End of Summer Party but the two summers before that we participated in National Night Out.
The local fire department came. All the kids (and adults) liked getting a close look at the fire trucks.

Wesley pretended to drive one of the trucks. Later that night McGruff the Crime Dog showed up but we had already left.

We got a fly by from the police helicopter. It flew over once and then it came down pretty low. Of course, I didn't get a picture until the helicopter was higher. I think it was pretty exciting for the kids and adults when the helicopter flew right over us.

Of course, the moonbounce was a big hit.

Josiah even got to play on the playground.

He also made a new friend.

The ice cream truck was there the entire time but we made the kids eat a cheeseburger before they got ice cream. Lydia got her Astro Pop all over her mouth accidently at first but then she and Wesley purposely smeared it all over the lower half of their faces. Lovely.

We had a great turn out for the party. It was a fun night!
