Neighborhood Pool Party

Our neighborhood had a pool party on Saturday. In the six years we have lived here, this is only the second pool party for the neighborhood. I am on the recreation committee just because I want us to have more events so I can get to know more neighbors.

Chris stood in the pool with the camera to capture these kids posed on the steps. More kids and their families came after this picture was taken.

The air temperature was very warm but the water was freezing. We were there for two and a half hours and I never got in. Lydia is doing well with the arm floaties but I want to get another backpack so she can try it. Vi and I bought the food and drinks for the party. We kept it simple - watermellon, cookies, and snack packs of chips. So what is the messiest food you can give wet little kids? Cheetos!
Chris convinced Wesley to try swimming without his backpack.

You are such a rockin' event planner!

That pic of cheetos all over Wesley is priceless. =) And he is swimming really well!

One thing I really love about NoVA is the diversity. I love your neighborhood picture.

How FUN! That's a great picture of the neighborhood kids. I can totally see you planning events for them--you're the right person for the committee!
I can't wait to get Samantha to the pool--maybe this Sunday.

That is quite a group. Cheers to Chris for braving the cold and getting in the water - I am with you in that I am not getting in unless I am warm and it is warm out.
