We were excited to be invited to a street party last night to help our nearby neighbours, Dave and Linda, celebrate their significant birthdays. The plan was to have a big street party, complete with an official street closure, live band, and plenty of dancing and partying. However, thanks to Hurricane Ernesto and its influence on the weather patterns around Toronto this week, the party had to be scaled back to be an indoor gig. Bummer for Dave and Linda!

It was still a great party though! We arrived a little late as Donna didn't get off work till 9:00pm (which reminds me, she ought to blog about her new career path). The party was in full swing by the time we arrived with lots of food and drink, plenty of laughter and lots of fun. It was great to catch up with everyone, especially ones that we hadn't seen much over the last few months, since so many people go away for the summer break. It was also great that Heidi could be there too, as she just happened to be in town this week.

There's really no need to go into further detail here - mainly to protect the innocent - but it was a pretty wild night. ;-) I particularly like the party games that Dave dreamed up... One involved an ever diminishing paper bag - I've played Pass the Parcel before, but never Eat the Parcel. And as for the variation of the game which involved a carrot, a very flexible body and large amounts of alcohol... don't even go there.

Thanks Dave and Linda for a fun night, we had a ball. And happy birthday!
