Ice Cream Social

Yesterday, the neighbor to the right of us knocked on the door with an invite to a neighborhood ice cream and lemonade social for that evening. A little after 6:00 we joined several other families from the neighborhood in the Hartman's front yard for ice cream, lemonade and socializing. It was really a lot of fun and we met some of the neighbors we hadn't met yet. Gabriel and Abby had a blast playing with the Hartman's 7 year old son. They rode bikes, chased each other and wrestled in the yard together. It was fun seeing Gabriel wrestle with someone older with him and not having to worry about him hurt the other person as much, especially since he usually wrestles with Abby. The Abby across the street came over as well but was shy so she didn't join in this time. It was a lot of fun and there were a few times I wish I had my camera. It was also fun to see the reaction to Gabriel's announcement that we are having a baby. Nancy looked at me for conformation and when I told her it was a December due date she did a double take, saying that I didn't even look pregnant. In some ways this was fun but in other ways I find this frustrating. Anyway they are palnning another neighborhood get together in October with a pancake breakfast.
