Staten Island Block Party

Pin It now! A couple of weeks ago, we headed out to Staten Island to my sister-in-law's house for a block party.  I'm not sure how it's taken me 7 years to finally go to one.  Let me tell you, it was fun!  There was an inflatable water slide set up right in front of her house.  It was gigantic and unfortunately only for the kids.  The night became even more fun when one of M's cousins "forced" us to do lemon drops.  After that, it was hula hoop contests, DJ'ed music, silly string mayhem, and good old family time.  There was also a lady walking up and down the street with a cart full of silly string, poppers, light swords, whistles - you name it, she had it...at 3x the price.  The kids kept buying and running back to their parents (or grandpa) for more money.  Smart lady...
