Independence Day Pool Party

Scott and Tonya were gracious enough to host an Independence Day pool party this afternoon. There were seven families there with 1-3 children per family. Three little girls are younger than 3 months old--one 3 weeks old. Needless to say, Gavin had a great time.

First there was time to play inside. The log cabin is super cool.

Then we all suited up and headed to the pool. Gavin continues to be a little daredevil in the water. Of course, he's learning a lot from Sara. She thinks she can swim and really does quite a good job. I was impressed with her jumps to her dad. By next summer, she'll be a little fish just like her brother, William.Sara just needed a little help getting back on to the Baja step.And sometimes, she didn't need any help. However, Gavin was happy to cheer her on.
Gavin enjoyed tooling around with Mama.






It was good to see the Dads in control of the kiddies.


Splashing with Dada was fun.

Of course after swimming there was lots of food: hamburgers, hot dogs, potato salad, macaroni salad, chips, fruit, deviled eggs, cupcakes, ice cream, and banana pudding. Oi, I ate too much. Gavin (and all the other kids) barely ate dinner; there was too much playing to be done.
We headed home around 8. Gavin ate Cheerio's in the car on the way home. We gave him some milk when he got home. After getting him into his pjs, we put him in bed. I'll bathe him and apply extra lotion tomorrow to combat the salt water from the pool. Somehow, I don't think he'll care if his skin is a bit dry.
I'm looking forward to him being big enough to want to see fireworks. But, all in good time.
