First Annual Oakmont Block Party-- June 8, 2013

How wonderful to see the yard and playground filled with so many children and families from Dove, Warwick, and our swection of Carroll!! Emmy is doing a 4-H project called "Party Planner," and, given that we have several new neighbors, we decided to let her plan a block party. She came up with the invitations, theme, and activities. It was so nice to meet new people, and the kids LOVED the chance to play with each other and make new friends.

All of us lead such active, hectic lives, and it was just so delightful to pause, smile, eat a hot dog, and chat with people that we drive by on our way to and from commitments. Perhaps we've entered a new phase of how we enact our little part of Oakmont...
