Last year, we hosted a Back to School BBQ for Leah's preschool class. This year, Jen decided to change it up and switch to an ice cream party. Yet again, we had around 60 people (a bit under this year) at our house.

Immediately upon arrival, the kids decided running or rolling down the steep hill in our back yard was a fun activity.

We supplied the ice cream and everyone else brought lots of toppings. While everyone couldn't fit in the kitchen to fill their bowls at one time, here's a shot at the initial onslaught.

We fixed bowls inside, but then headed outside to eat. It was very nice in the shade on the porch.

Some decided that the hill was not just for running/rolling, but also for eating ice cream.

After ice cream, there was a lot of playing. This included frisbee throwing. It only got stuck on the roof twice.

The hill is not just for running, rolling, or eating ice cream. It can also create new sports. Here the kids put the soccer goal at the bottom, carried soccer balls to the top, then rolled them down toward the goal like a bowling ball. I call it hillside soccer bowling.

While many of the kids played outside, many others packed into our basement playroom for some fun with toys.

The party was a lot of fun. It's a bit sad to know that this is the last beginning of preschool we'll ever celebrate. But we'll just focus on the fun year of preschool we've got ahead of us instead of thinking about that.
