Block Party (105)James and Ariana Gregg and their two children live in a charming Rockland, Maine neighborhood, the perfect place for an old-fashioned block party. Event designers Alexandra and Eliot Angle appeal to adults without alienating the kids by planning an elegant spread for the adults on one side of the yard and a special area for kids on the other. The kids have art projects, games and their own version of the adult food--and everyone has a good time.
