Laura's birthday party was a success. My sister's friend Amy brought her children, and Mom's friend Caroline brought her grandson. That meant lots of children running around and getting soaked under the wading pool/sprinkler. I held the instructions and tried to look involved while Dad and Uncle Tom assembled a new gas grill.
When it was over and everyone else went home, we went swimming in the big pool. Laura, Andy, and Emma liked that even better. Naturally, I'm sunburned. It was worth it, though; I haven't been swimming in five or six years.
As promised, here are photos from the party.
