Summer's Finally Here!

When we finally left the April weather behind last week, we had a lot of catching up to do. We had so much fun it's hard to believe that there are so few photos to document it. That's mostly because the best photos can't be posted here since there are some under-21's and over-70's who read this blog and would either be curious or appalled about the goings-on.

Last Thursday night, Karen and I went out to Naked Fish to celebrate our upcoming birthdays. During the meal I found out that Mah-Jong at Lana's had been cancelled and everyone was heading to Samba. I couldn't convince Karen to join me, but it's been so long since the ladies cut loose at Samba that I just had to go. Why not?

Friday afternoon, Lana had invited the mommies to hang out at the pool. Because I was lucky enough to have an extra pair of hands at home and a company policy that allows us to take every other summer Friday afternoon off, I had several hours of mommy-time without having to feed, wipe, or yell at anyone. Sheer bliss.

Friday night we went to the weekly Concert on the Common, which almost didn't happen this year because of the budget (or lack thereof). We saw all the usual peeps and it was a beautiful night. Michelle inspired me to find the foldable picnic tables I have around here somewhere, by dragging a big cooler, a giant Chinese feast, and a table for 4 to the concert.

Saturday night was the annual adults-only party at Lana & Larry's, and they invited us to bring the kids over in the afternoon to burn off some steam in the pool. We jumped at the chance. The adults-only party was a lot of fun, thanks to great company, good food, plenty of vodka, instructional wall art in the pool cabana, and a giant inflatable penis pool floatie. I was having a perfectly normal conversation with Tara when she suddenly said, "Is that a penis?" Me: "Yes." Tara (nodding like she knew it all along): "Hm." Not shocking or even surprising at this point, but still a conversation starter. .

Here are some concert photos:







And a few from the adults-only pool party:
