Upper Room Block Party....

Sunday night our church hosted a neighborhood block party both for those of us who go to the UR,  and for the people who live in the neighborhood where our church is located. I worked the "snow cone" booth and had a fantastic time meeting new people and giving funny names to the unique snow cones people ordered.


Sutton and Shaeffer enjoyed a snow cone...  

They had a wonderful time going through the maze...

And the slide was a big hit, although they were FILTHY when they were finished....  

Here we are waiting to dunk "Miss Betty" in the dunk tank... When we first arrived, Sutton saw his teacher "Miss Betty" up in the tank.  He had never seen anything like this before and was asking all sorts of questions (how did she get in there, can I swim with her, etc..).  He also would NOT leave the dunk tank area AT ALL. We tried to bribe him away with sweets, games, slides, friends, BUT NOTHING worked.  We stood there for about 10 minutes just watching.  

FINALLY we got them to "try" to dunk Miss Betty.  Fortunately for Miss Betty, S & S didn't hit the target this time... She did offer to let them push the button and dunk her, but Sutton did not want to do that...  He gave her a high five and we were finally on our way!
