National Night Out...

National Night Out has developed into an effective, inexpensive and enjoyable program to promote community spirit and police-community partnerships in the fight for a safer place. Kelley, who I live through on our HOA, really got everything going with neighborhood fliers, grills, water, games, etc. We, of course, had to have the best spot. There was a grill and games set up in our cul-de-sac and then one at the end of Brompton Lane. But we were definately more fun.

Even as hot and humid as it was, Ali didn't seem to mind. Our HOA has pretty much sucked the entire time I have lived here. So this was great that Kelley was really getting involved. I loved it. We actually had a great turnout and people seemed to go between the two stations. We had food, chips, drinks and games. Lots of kids turned out too!

Despite Allison's face, she really had a good time. Lauren, of course, had school the next day so she couldn't stay out long, but she had a great time too.

I really hope Kelley becomes President one day...hopefully before we sell the house. She would be great. Lots of great ideas for fun things that really get your community involved.
Perfect picture. Of course, you can tell my two! Never a 'normal' picture! But then again, at least I have Ali!

It was a great night! Hopefully it will continue and only lead to more community stuff! Next up..neighborhood yard sale August 28th! Maybe I can get rid of the rest of the crap in the house!
