We decided to give the pool another whirl and got there around 11:00 am. The kids had a blast again. There were a few other families there with kids close to the same age. I thought they would all play together but everyone pretty much stuck to themselves. Chris had a good time throwing a pool around with Daddy and Kendall practiced "swimming" by letting her legs float behind her while she walked on her hands.
We came home around 12:30 and ate lunch and then it was naptime. They both took a decent 2 hour nap and then it was time to head to my sister's house.
It was very informal with just us, my sister, BIL, niece, nephew and a mutual friend. She had the water table set up on the deck and Chris and my niece went out first. Kendall decided she wanted to stay inside to play with the kitchen set. The adults enjoyed some beverages while the kids played.
We had quite a feast with hamburgers, hot dogs, sausages, orzo pasta salad, baked beans and watermelon. Of course none of the kids wanted to eat anything because they all filled up on chips 'n dip and cheese & crackers.
Around 6:30, we walked down the street where some of their neighbors had gathered. One girl was doing face painting so that was a big hit with the kids. At dusk, they set off some fireworks. I wasn't sure how my kids would react but they did fine. They were both a little scared at first but I made sure that I did a lot of "Yays" and clapping so they knew it was supposed to be fun.
Before I knew it, it was after 9:00 pm and time to head home. I kept thinking it was Saturday and had to be reminded that people had to work today. Thankfully, I took today off. :)
