Biakis Pool Party 2011

Sunday was the annual pool party at Angela and Bill's home.  Unfortunately it was a stormy night that led into a storming morning - complete with thunder and rain.  Everyone braved the weather and Thankfully by the time we arrived (around 12:30-1) the storm cleared!  It was still cloudy, but warm/dry and no signs of lightening or thunder, so we enjoyed an afternoon by the pool and a potluck/BBQ.  

The night before the girls HAD :) to have their toes and nails painted.  K picked pink and H picked blue - shocking, I know. 


Hailey ended up being our little fish.  Kaelin has become a little leary of putting her head in the water and chose to stay on rafts mostly or hanging onto an adult.  Hailey on the other hand went down the slide 3 times, and swam from one end of the pool to the other endlessly!  The only think we couldn't talk her into was the diving board.  Maybe next year...

I am choosing to believe that this is all in play, but really am not sure what Trey was doing to Dominic...as Brad laughs :).

The day ended with snow cones made by Aunt Karen, and very tired kids (no naps, and a full afternoon in the sun and water!). It was a great day - though we should have put on sunblock by the end.  Hailey, we have learned, actually tans, though her cheeks did get a little pink.  Kaelin is definitely my daughter; her little cheeks, nose and shoulders are a bright pink today.  She says they don't hurt, but I am using aloe on her every few hours.

Tomorrow starts K's school adventure with a morning Kindergarten orientation with Justin and I, then her first day (screening) on Thursday.
