Summer fun in the Haven

We have had lots of neighborhood gatherings this summer, some planned and some spontaneous. One of the more recent events was the 'Poker run' where you visit a house, pull your first card, and mingle/eat/drink for half an hour before everyone moves on to the next house. This happens at 5 different pre-designated houses until you get all 5 of your cards. Whoever has the best hand at the end wins the pot (it's a $20 buy-in, but also includes your food/drink). 

I'm not a poker player, but it was a great way to meet a lot of neighbors we hadn't had a chance to meet before! There was a pretty substantial turnout. 

There have been lots of trips to the beach.

There have been crab boils and even a lobster boil.

Three of our neighbors went in together on purchasing a bounce house from a company going out of business. It will probably be making an appearance at future birthday parties. 

There have been birthday parties, cookouts, and just impromptu drive-way hangouts. We are thankful for such friendly neighbors that have welcomed us with open arms!
