Solstice Block Party

Summer solstice is a much celebrated occasion in Seattle as we all are praying to any God that will listen to please send us some sun. One of our neighbors is quite the organizer and we shut down the street frequently for parties. This year the solstice party had a hot dog cart, kegs of beer, tons of water guns, 135 folks came with donations for the Seattle Cancer Care Alliance and the guest of honor was actually the sun. There is hope that nicer weather is on its way.

Elizabeth found a group of older girls and subsequently stayed put the rest of the night. The tween girls just doted over her and she was treated like quite a princess. We were then able to enjoy actual adult conversations with our neighbors.




Elizabeth keeps asking since then 'Is today a no car day so we can play in the street?'
