After eating the games started. The first one was a pumpkin relay. I had gotten a couple of small pumpkins and Chris set up a course in our front yard. The object was to carry the pumpkin on a serving spoon, around the cones and then hand it off to the next in line. After watching the first round one of the officers wanted to play so we picked new teams and played again. Seth was actually doing pretty well and was ahead of the officer so Chris yelled out to him, "Run Seth your being chased by a cop". It was pretty funny.
After the relay we played a doughnut game. We didn't have enough doughnuts for everyone to play so this game was just for the kids. The object of this game is to eat your doughnut from a string without using your hands. You can't touch the doughnut at all! Even if it falls on the ground. The kids loved it and the officer decided to stay and watch. I'm sure he was disappointed he couldn't play. After all cops and doughnuts go hand in hand, right?!?
With the food gone and the games played the kids and Chris played monster until the neighbor kids all had to go home. Our kids were pretty exhausted and dirty so it was into the bath and then bed for them too. Ryan had come over and was staying the night so it was a little harder to get him and Seth to bed but they were pretty tired too and were willing to watch a movie to help settle them down. I think that everyone had a great tie and it was really nice to be able to just sit and chat with our neighbors . We are truly blessed to have moved into such a great neighborhood!!
