Neighbors: Sharon and her smiley daughter Hannah (Markus just calls her 'smiley baby')
There was a really good turn out for our annual neighborhood block party this year
Markus volunteered to help the magician that came to entertain us
Max's friend Dillon was helping him as well
The bike parade was for all the kids with their bikes decorated
Morgen was not having too much fun, but at least he came out this year (last year he stayed inside!)
Markus, Dillon and Max with the firemen that came to show us their firetruck
The difference between a firetruck and a fire engine: the ladderThe firetruck is the one with the expandable ladder on the top
The boys were pretty cold after being sprayed by the hose but they still stood in line to see the inside of the firetruck as well.
After the magician we all stood around the fire pit talking and laughing. What an enjoyable evening, until Markus had a melt down and I had to take him in to bed. He was crying when I put his p.j.'s on and said that I was ruining his life!
