Island Times

When we lived in military housing in Hawaii, we had the most outgoing neighborhood I've ever lived in, until now. Our Texas neighbors top those Navy families! From block parties, to weekend barbecues at the pool, to kids playing together every day, our block has to be the most out-going block of neighbors. Saturday night was no exception when we were invited to our neighbors home to celebrate Brenden's and Nick's birthdays. 

Brenden, on the left, lives across the street, and is the father of Morgan and Ashton, Abigail and Cooper's favorite playmates. Nick, on the right, lives down the street from us and is the husband of Nicky, who is the social coordinator of all the fun on our block.

The party was Hawaiian themed, and nothing was left out.

Gary sported the coconut bra...

Daniel was more subtle, but still showing his Hawaiian spirit with his Aloha wear...

Kristy was rockin' the bikini and grass skirt...

Brenden brought out his grass hat and speedo...


The girls were the official hula dancers...

The kids danced through the limbo rounds...


The palm tree pinata was a hit. Ha! "A hit" Pun intended...


The kids (and later, the adults) raced through some relays with floaties, inner tubes, a soccer ball and hula hoop.


Even Catherine, due to give birth in just a few weeks, raced through the relays, with the kids and adults!

Needless to say, a fun night was had by all! 
Thanks to Brenden and Nick for sharing your birthday and fun with us!
