Don't be fooled by the rocks that I got. I'm just Katie from the block...

Liv and Dina try the balloon toss

My family and I lived at 922 West 25th Street until the Summer before I went into 4th grade and Gina went into 7th.  There were so many great neighbors.  Everyone knew everyone and those were some of the best years.

Each Summer, right around July 4th we always had a block party.  Everyone would bring their favorite dish to share or dish they were made famous for and we would all have a great time.  The day would be capped off by the famous or infamous water balloon toss.  Kids first...then the adults.

Even though most of the gang has moved away from 25th Street, the "originals" still get together once a month.  During July they thought that it would be a great idea to have a 25th Street Block Party at the Salvatore's.  This time around their children, and grandchildren, for some, were included.
