When I think back to the warm evenings of my childhood, I remember running, laughing and playing with our neighbourhood friends. The age range of kids must have spread from 4 to 14 years old. And although it would be expected that such a vastness in years would separate, it was the clear commonality of neighbourhood to which brought us together. I worry sometimes in this day and age, the neighbourhood 'family' is a dying one. And so that is why...this summer, we invented - Friday Fun. Every Friday evening, we open our backyard to our neighbours. The only rules - Run. Laugh. Play. And most importantly HAVE FUN. A couple of months ago, our first Friday Fun consisted of one guest...as of tonight we welcomed 18 {Ages 1 - 14}!!! Nothing makes us smile bigger than hearing our very own neighbourhood family scream, 'We love Friday Funnnnn!!!!' Vive la neighbourhood.

What a great idea! Your neighborhood is lucky to have the Dunnems' hospitality!
Love, Nana
Was red the required color to wear???
I like the stages of grilling a marshmallow (go right to left). It's like their own cooking show.
You also have got to love Cowboy Hank.
WHAT A PARTY!!!
