Block Party

It was (and still is!) a madhouse at the Courtright household this weekend. In addition to the 6 of us, we had 2 additional visitors staying with us. Cousin Jon, Jeff's cousin from Michigan, flew in on Thursday for a long weekend since his original trip last fall was cancelled from Jeff's swine flu. And then my brother Ben stopped in for the weekend on his way down to south Texas for work. It was good timing for our visitors, because our cul-de-sac hosted a block party and we all had a blast. There was music, a ton of food, swimming, water balloons, and then there was the water slide...



Looks pretty cool, huh? It was a 20 foot inflatable slide with water and the kids (some grown-ups, too) loved it!



That's our house in the background of the picture above. So as you can see, we were right in the middle of all the fun!




There goes Connor down the slide.



And Kaitlynn managed to get lots of attention, as usual, with her smiles and waves.



This picture cracked me up -- Kevin and Kaitlynn have the exact same looks on their faces! (As if they are saying, "Really? Another picture??")



Here's a pic of me with Kaitlynn after we both got soaked from standing too close to the water slide.



Here's Cousin Jon relaxing by the pool. I'd say the guys spent most of their weekend out there.



Here's Uncle Ben shooting some hoops from the pool. Jeff and Collin mounted a basketball hoop to the side of our house, so this is the new favorite swim game around here.
