Saturday Grill-Fest

On Saturday, we walked across the street for dinner with our neighbors. They're the ones with the little boy close to Shane's age.

We've been getting to know them better since around May. Shane and I pop over for quick visits every week or two, and the boys splashed around at the pool once.

I met my best friend growing up when I was three. Shane's getting close to that age, and I would love for him to have a friend. Especially one like that. Plus, they're good people.

Saturday was a lot of fun. The boys played outside partly with each other, partly next to each other. Mike, Jessica, Carrie and I got to enjoy adult conversation. It's socialization at all levels, so I'm thrilled.

It's maybe a 10 second jog from their front door to ours, so we'll see where this goes. Mike and I talked about taking turns tag teaming yards, because we're both having trouble stopping weeds and watching a little boy simultaneously.

Here's a clip of Daniel and Shane swinging into action.


This is a clip from the boys playing out back at the BBQ. Later, Shane and Daniel got to try and climb into a hammock together. There were some pretty cute failures before I intervened.



There was a hand-me down small moon bounce, as well! I didn't get any video of the boys on that one, but Carrie snapped a quick pick of us trying to collapse all the air out!


Daniel ran up our driveway on Friday, as well. He and Mike had been on a walk when Daniel stopped and demanded to knock. The boys were laughing and playing upstairs for a while before it occurred to me to grab a camera. I missed most of the giggles, but I caught the tail end of it.


It's hard to parent and get good footage. The boys ended up running around chasing each other in a circle on the driveway afterwards. I think everyone would love for them to end up as buddies. They certainly are cute playing together!
