Fall Festival/ Clam Bake

Yesterday, our neighborhood had a fall festival/Clam Bake at our little park. The party is for members and their families and friends of the neighborhood. We had a hayride, a cupcake walk, and everyone pitched in and brought a dish to pass and then either purchased a clam bake meal or was provided with burgers and hotdogs that are provided by Home Owners Association/Club.

The girls had a great time playing with all of the kids that were running around like crazy. Since I am on the Board, I helped with this event and had been at the park since 10am setting up. Bob took the kids on the hayride. The first time, the girls didn't know what to expect - after that time they wanted to go again. I think they ended up going on 3 more times.

The event was a success. I didn't get home until about 7pm. Bob had brought the kids home around 5pm. I had a nice surprise when I came home. There was a note saying that a florist had delivered flowers and they were left at the front door. Sure enough, there was a box covered in tissue and inside was a bouquet in a ceramic pumpkin. Well wishes on my new job!! From Aunt Sue & Uncle Tom. Wasn't that sweet? I love 'em.
