One Last Summer BBQ

This evening we had our last block party of the summer. A few of my neighbors and I had been talking, and it seemed like we should have one last BBQ as a farewell to summer and an opportunity to meet the new families who had moved in over the last month or so. So once again we rolled out the pits and set up chairs on our lawn so the adults could eat and chat. The kids did what they always do: play and run as much as possible, only stopping when forced to eat or rehydrate by their parents. The nice thing was that rather than all of the adults staying in their own homes cleaning or cooking or whatever, we all got to socialize with each other. It was a great way to start winding down the summer.
