our wonderful block party
Block Party time again. It was a glorious day, perfect weather, and a cast of thousands. We took a block party portrait I will post when I get it.
We decorate our houses for the day. I, as usual, pulled out quilts that seem to fit the theme--this year Fiesta LeClaire.
My neighbor, also a quilter, put hers out this year too!
There was face painting and balloon hats
A puppet show and a talent show with joke telling. The jumping jack and fire truck came to visit.
A scavenger hunt, corn hole, obstacle course, Mexican Hat Dance, the Limbo, musical chairs, the wonderful pick-up band of talented block and neighbor musicians.
And dancing in the streets until the police shut us down.
Summer in the City.
Life is good.
Looks like you had great fun. I like to have a house with a large porch like yours, it certainly does lend itself to dressing up with quilts.
ReplyDeleteFun!!! I love all the quilts hanging on your porches!
ReplyDeleteThat is so fun that you have a block party! Your quilts look wonderful draped over your porch rails.
