Labor Day Weekend Party

The temperatures were in the triple digits this weekend with daytime around 110 degrees. Sunday we had a block party. Since the weather was so warm, we pitched together and rented a giant water slide!

It was quite crowded for a while as all the kids couldn't wait to get their turn.


Matt went down the slide quite a few times. Sarah and Ben thought that was quite funny.


Between trips down the water slide, kids feasted on chips and juice. Here is Emily enjoying the festivities.


The street was full of kids and parents having a good time.


As things started to cool dowin into the high 90's, we started preparing the projector for video games and a movie. Though, the kids continued to play on the slide to many hours after dark. I think the lowest temperature that evening was probably in the 80's.


We have used the screen in years past. We made it from scratch.


Instead of using a modern radio, I pressed my old Fisher 800 into service. It was amazing how well the 45 year old radio performed. Nothing like the warm glow of vacum tubes in a summer evening... ahhh...



When it was dark, we were able to fire up a projector and project the Sony Playstation on the front of the house. The kids (and adults) played Dance Dance Revolution.

We kept the projector going till 1 AM Monday morning with movies.
