We've been doing quite a bit of hosting at our pool. Sometimes it's just a kid or two; sometimes is a larger group with food and drinks and the whole deal. I was feeling a little hostess fatigue but when the Fourth was approaching and there was nothing planned, I couldn't resist the urge to invite people over. Heck, it's really fun when you have a pool. It was just two other families so it wasn't going to be too crazy.

After some swimming, there was an epic dance battle. Then more swimming, then dinner, and then the dads got in and it was chaos in the pool.
Then the kids went out front to throw pop-its. When they came back in, it was dessert time. Each mom made a dessert. I did the red, white and blue cupcakes in the middle.
There were rumblings of walking to Kristi's house to see the fireworks from her lawn. They can see the Santa Clara fireworks pretty well, except for an unfortunately placed tree across the street. But then someone put the New York fireworks on the TV and the kids sat down to watch that and no one ended up seeing real fireworks. The guest left at 10:30 making it an EIGHT HOUR PARTY! It was fun but exhausting. These are some of my favorite people in the world, but it's still a long time to have people over.
