Happy Monday!
Summer will be over before we know it and that is why we’re trying to enjoy it as much as we can to the fullest. This past weekend, we were invited to a pool party by my sister-in-law’s nephew and our boy was an excited little kid . My brother-in-law was there together with his family including his grandchildren plus a family that is a friend of the host. There were like eight kids and seven adults – not much but there was a whole lot of fun!
The pool party started at early afternoon. My sister-in-law plus the host did all the cooking and preparation of the food. We were told to bring any drinks that we like so the hubs brought his favorite, iced tea.
Some kids were already there when we arrived and our son jumped into the pool as soon as we got there and stayed in the pool for hours. He loves water like a duck, like most all kids.
They ate, they swam, they dived, they played and they threw water balloons, etc. The adults enjoyed the pool too. The hubs had fun diving as well as his brother several times. It brought back memories of them going to the Recreation Park pool every Sunday when they were young. But compared to the kids, they didn’t stay as long in the water. You reckon why? 😉
The pool party lasted for more or less four hours. But I think if the adults would have allowed it, the kids would have swum forever. But we had to put an end to it for the sun was vicious and one thing we didn’t need was sunburn.
It was really a fun day spent at the pool with the family.
How was your weekend? I hope it was fun as well.
Pool parties are the best! I love to throw pool parties for the kids. If you add in pizza and ice cream, you’ll be rolling in cool mom points.
I wish we had a pool. I would love to be swimming today, it’s hot and humid here.
A pool party is such a fun way to spend a summer afternoon. We don’t have a pool in our yard, but we visit a local pool regularly. The kids love it.
My kids love to be outside in a pool during the summer!! It’s been super warm here so they would love cooling off!
How fun! My kids loved pool parties, too when they were younger. They could swim for hours, too if we only allowed it.
Pool parties are so fun. I think the adults love it just as much as the kids do. A great time indeed!
Aw, what a fun weekend! Aren’t pools the best? I can’t imagine a summer without a pool – I’ve always grown up with them, so it’d be hard to ever not have one! Hope you have a great week!
A pool party in the hot summer months is an awesome idea for everyone. My aunt used to have pool parties during the summer until she moved to Florida. It really is a lot of fun for everyone.
This sounds like a fun time. I would love to get a little more swim time before the end of the Summer.
Pool parties are always a ton of fun. I wish I had a pool though. I hope to get one once I move out and find a house. It would be fun having a pool party.
When we hit those 100 degree summer days, i so wish we had a backyard pool. it looks like they had a lot of fun!
Pool parties are so much fun. We spend lots of time in our pool enjoying summer with family. That’s pretty much every weekend during the summer.
What a great pool party!! I am ashamed to say that I haven’t been to the pool once this summer, booooo!
We love pool parties! We haven’t thrown one this summer1 With the weather so hot, we have been enjoying the pool a lot!
To have a swimming pool is an ultimate dream for my husband. I would love to have one but the maintenance is costly. Sounds like a fun weekend.
My brother has a larger pool than me so the pool parties are usually hosted at his house and they are tons of fun. We always grill tons of food and usually set up the volleyball net across the pool and play kids versus adults.
We love pool parties! Our summer is in December and almost every week we find an excuse to throw a pool party with friends.
What fun! We do not have a pool, so we utilize the city pools. The closest one to us luckily isn’t really ever crowded.
What child doesn’t enough a pool party? During this summer with such hot weather I know I would enjoy it!
I wish we had a pool and could let our kids enjoy a pool party! I am so glad that you encourage this type of fun for your kids. Simple, clean, FUN! Hope you have many more awesome pool parties!
