Now the redneck Pool was a
huge hit. All of the kids and babies loved it! Even most of the grownups made a dip or two. The Princess and Wee O

While we had the kids all here...we went through some of the many stored things of our grown up kids...and DS2 found some of his swimming medals.... Michael Phelps.... probably looked like this after the last Olympics... the kids were sure impressed with the medals... and now they are no longer at my house....more room for fabric!

The pictures don't do them justice...but they were both lovely quilts. I also completed a sweet baby quilt for one of these gals..but the photo is way out of focus... I have that affect on many things. Hope you all had a great weekend. I am off to a visit a new quilt group... tomorrow.... new to me...hope they show some pretty things.

Super fun! It should be an annual event.
Oh how fun it all looks . . . . I'm keeping my fingers crossed that sparklers are allowed in our new home *s*
The pool does look like it was a great joy for many. The fireworks looked like such fun as well. It sounds like it was a wonderful visit.
Hope the new quilt group will be a great adventure. Your quilts are lovely.
Looks like they had loads of fun in the water (& with the cake! LOL). Gorgeous quilts. :0)
