Summer leftovers

It's with great sadness that we said goodbye to summer. Someone had the great idea to have a pool party. We had about 12 families from church come and we swam and ate. We pulled grills from a couple of our homes and cooked out. There was lots of sharing of summer foods, lots of throwing kids around the pool, lots of talking.  We stayed until the last minute and it wasn't until the life guard blew the whistle that we started to gather paper plates and soda bottles to take to the trash. We sorted through goggles and towels and all the equipment needed for pool party fun then slowly divided into families and walked to our homes (or hopped in our cars if we lived out of the neighborhood). Another sweet summer season has passed.

This morning Rob and Grace went fishing. Hannah and I went to the movies and Ethan stayed home.
