We’ve been lucky to have a backyard pool for the past three years. It is sometimes a pain in the but to keep up, butt for the most part, we’ve really enjoyed having it. Our favorite times we’ve had are when friends and family come and join us in the fun. Sometimes it’s been hard to get them to drive all the way to Bountiful and to set foot in an un-heated pool, but occasionally, we talk them into it.
Pioneer Day this year was one such occasion. We were able to talk quite a few family members into coming for dinner and a swim. Katie, Trevor & kids came. Jason brought Averi down (Katie D. had to work), and my folks joined us too! We had taco salads and some homemade frozen yogurt. The kids played and played and played while the adults chatted. I believe everyone had a really good time. And well, you all know how much I do enjoy playing hostess.
My favorite part of the party was when Trevor climbed the mountain and jumped off of into the pool! It was pretty awesome. I like to watch Trevor do lots of cool dives too. He rocks.
The Koldewyn side of my family gathered together on Memorial Day to help week Grandma’s yard. With all of the help, it didn’t take very long at all. Afterwards, we had a BBQ at Aunt Connie’s. Even though I was tremendously busy trying to clean up and fix my own yard, it was rather nice to take a break and congregate with my extended family.
