Our neighbors, Marilyn and Andrew, coordinated a dinner date to invite the four adjacent families for a get-together and it was on Saturday night.  Before we went to the dinner, we had a swim first in the afternoon.  We then cleaned up and got dressed, and walked up to their house.  We were the first to arrive and the boys were very excited to explore the house.  The hosts have many precious decors along with one piano and three harps.  The boys were so intrigued to play with the instruments; even though they were given permission to play with them, we had to ensure that they were being gentle.  We later decided to take them out to the yard to avoid them getting too hyper inside the house.  Their yard was big and it was surrounding the entire house.  I followed the boys and it was quite a hike walking through the paths and the steps all around.  The other two families slowly arrived, and one of the families also has younger kids (9, 2).  We all chatted for awhile, then later the dinner was served.  Marilyn did a great job cooking a spread of different entrees and side dishes to accommodate different food restrictions.  By then Logan and Connor were drawn to the Tablet the big boy Parsa was playing and they were all content in the living room.  So we decided to have our dinner first.  It was nice talking and getting to know our neighbors.  I finally got the kids down to eat their dinner; the food was a bit too sophisticated for them but they managed to eat just enough.  Parsa went home to get his basketball, and he and Logan played a quick game together.  Later we got the four kids down to watch a movie, so we could join the adults in the conversation again.  Later Marilyn served us her homemade desserts and some coffee.  Connor was telling us he was tired then but his eyes widened after learning that there were desserts.  After we enjoyed them and the kids had some ice cream, we realized how late it was, 10:15pm.  We said our thank you and enjoyed a short walk to go home.
