Friends, Sun, Pool, and Fun

Today was a fun day full of good food.

We started off with a Father's Day Pool Party and Pot-luck lunch at Tracy's house (sponsored by the Mom's Club.) This was one of the rare events where the Dad's are actually invited.

Lauren and Tyler had so much fun at Ms. Tracy's house. Lauren finally! discovered that floaties will really keep her above water. She swam and swam all by herself. I'm so happy she finally realized this as it will make swimming pools much more fun now. Tyler as usual was jumping in the pool and swimming all over. He's learning to keep his mouth closed when he goes under water. He's our little dare devil.I really want a pool now. Matt says it's not possible, 1. we don't have the money and 2. we have a septic tank and the drainage field is in the back yard. (Have you seen our front yard? We could for sure fit a pool in there.) =)

Yesterday evening we invited Dave, Susan, Ian (3) and Eric (8 months?) over for a grill-out. We also had Lea over while her mom enjoyed a girl's night out.
The boys grilled some steaks and I made Pasta Salad with Goat Cheese and Arugula from the June issue of Everyday Food magazine. The pasta salad was okay in my opinion but Susan's Fruit Salad was much better.

The adults and a sleepy, but refusing to go to sleep Eric, had a lot of time to talk and hang-out because the 4 kids (Lauren, Tyler, Ian & Lea) played and entertained themselves the entire evening.

yes, two kids CAN ride the train at the same time


After Dave and Susan left we settled the remaining kids into sleeping bags and watched the
Bee Movie.

What a Fun Filled Saturday!!
