Summer Splash

Our Church puts on a Neighborhood Block party each year called Summer Splash-- it is a really great outreach event for the church and always a lot of fun. David helps with the set up. This year I just helped with some fliers and behind the scene prep as the due date approaches.
We were excited to see how Amelia would enjoy the event this year. She loved the kids inflatable jumping thing (do they have a better name?) I think she would have spent all evening in this. She would run around in circles, jump with the other kids, and just all out love being in there. It was so funny to watch.

I finally got her out to try to eat a hotdog ( I was hungry). Here she was probably on the lookout for the Purple animal that was entertaining kids. It had been at the entrance greeting kids and she was so freaked out by it. If she even saw it across the yard she would start to scream!! Thankfully she was not as scared by the many clowns that were parading around.

Showing off her face painting-- I was surprised she sat still to let them do this. David said she loved it. I was visiting with friends while he did this so I didn't get to see it done

Hanging out with other kids- listening to the praise band play and blowing bubbles they got as prizes at the carnival games. Amelia always makes lots of friends. I don't know these girls- I think they were visitors from the Neighborhood.

This is one of my new favorite pictures of Amelia!! It was taken by our friend Lindsey who was taking pictures of the event for the church. You can tell she is a professional. I can never get Amelia to stand still long enough to pose, yet alone smile. Thanks Lindsey for capturing this great picture!!
