On Saturday morning we had brunch with the Vandagriffs. It was fun to get together with them. I think the last time we got together for a meal was Abe’s birthday (not counting the times Abe and Morgan do weekday lunches together, of course).
After they left, I napped and Abe changed the water in our water storage tanks. He also overhauled the garage, much to my mom’s delight. By the end, he was totally exhausted because he had also done Insanity in the morning while I was at bikram yoga.
Then we headed over to the Harmons’ club house for Steve’s surprise birthday-pool party. Suzanne dropped the girls off at the party, and afterward when we were headed to the car, Mary said, “We had a pool party, and before that we had our sleepover…it was a great day!!”
The girls had so much fun at their sleepover. They did a scavenger hunt, got a letter from Gwendolyn, the fairy who lives at Tom and Suzanne’s house, saw a baby deer in the backyard, got a lot of presents, and had an all-around wonderful time. Lydia asked us if she could just go back to Baps’ house until the bad air in the valley disappears. (Our air has been exceptionally bad because of all the mountain fires.)
