Dinners with the Thiot's

I heard that Ricky and Charlie's family were going to be in town for a few days.  I contacted them and invited them to come to dinner at my house so we could see them.  I told them I would get as many of my kids as were available to join us.  They got back to me and invited ALL of us to come to Pierce's for dinner.  He was going to grill his AMAZING burgers.  We brought salads, fruit and desserts and had a delicious dinner.  I brought my tables, chairs, and shade, and with Pierce's shade tent, we had enough shade to have a wonderful cool evening!

Jen, Charlie's darling wife. brought this fun game,  and kept lots of the bigger kids entertained .

and of course, Pierce's pickle ball court, kept the others entertained.

The fun didn't end Sunday night.  Monday, Jamie and Emily invited everyone to go to their neighborhood pool for a pool party.  When we arrived, they had just made everyone get out because someone had pooped in the pool.  YUCK!  Change of plans, we headed to a super fun water park not far from Josh's house.   The kids had a great time.

It was 100 degrees out, but we were lucky enough to get a lovely pavilion, where we could visit and keep cool.  We had pizza for dinner, yummmm!
