National Night Out!

Our family had a great time at our local...

National Night Out!

This great opportunity to mix n' mingle with our neighbors while learning about bike safety and crime and drug prevention had the kids all a-twitter with excitement!

Owen's first-and probably last-romp in the bounce house. Moments later he burst into tears from the craziness of it all.

We successfully hunted down Mr. Jelly Belly and scored some free samples...yum!

Isabella found her classmate and settled in for the K-9 demo.

The dogs are impressive and everyone could see the change in the dogs demeanor when the "bad guy" entered the scene.

How amazing is it that upon command they can go from total attack mode to sitting quietly as seen above?

Really getting a good bite there!

Towards the end of the demo the officer remarked dryly that the "heroes" were here, indicating the Roseville Fire Department that just pulled up on the scene. We laughed at the fun rivalry and cheered at their arrival.

I wish I could say Owen was excited to see the fire truck, or even the fireman, but really he was just anxious for the fireman badge stickers they were handing out!

Our night came to a close with the kids clamoring over the playground equipment which was literally crawling with kids.

We really enjoyed getting out and about and seeing so many of our friends and neighbors gathered in one spot for the night.

We're definitely saving the date for next year!
