Block Party

So Alex and I went to our first block party on Saturday. I don't know why this concept was so foreign to me - it felt just like a ward party! I guess it's a pretty big deal out here, so they have planning meetings and the day of the party they put up barricades on both ends of the street so that they could set up. There was a big blow up waterslide, lots of food, music, and people. It was nice because we were able to meet some of our neighbors who all seem like really nice, down-to-earth kind of people. We went back to our place after dinner because the hard liquor started coming out...let's just say that our neighborhood was pretty quiet the next morning! :)
