I love my neighborhood!

So, after an exciting day of watching football, from Pee-wee leagues to the #6 ranked Houston Cougars, we headed back home for the rest of the evening.  Lo and behold, it is block party night in CLS.  As most of you know, I live on an island with two ways on/off it.  The block party is where the city puts up barricades on one of the entrances and we literally have a party on the bridge with the adjacent neighborhood.  Neighbor Priscilla put together an awesome singer and there were multiple refreshments there for everyone to enjoy.  Katie even tried a Pina Colada cupcake that she gave two thumbs up. 

From there, the party moved approx. 500 feet over to the pavilion where Jammin On Jarboe was just starting to take shape.  Jammin is a monthly concert put on by island locals as as way for us to come together and party as an island.  Everyone drives their golf carts up, brings their own refreshments, and socializes with the neighbors.  The band changes every month.  This months band was rocking.  I enjoyed some Tom Petty, CCR, and even some Bob Segar music.

After a long day, Marlina had had enough, so she and Katie headed back to the house.  Luke and I stayed a bit longer, then headed up to the food trucks so I could get some dinner.  Yes, at the front of the neighborhood on weekends, we have different food trucks lined up.  I enjoyed some quesadillas from El Guajillo and it was a perfect way to cap off the evening.
