Pool Party at the Schneiders’

Megan, Nathan, and Kathryn arrived on Thursday evening and the kids were able to get together a little bit on Friday. But the main event was on Saturday when we all went down to Jeff and Tanya’s to enjoy the pool and Jeff’s grilling.



Oma and Opa took all four kids giving Steve, Megan, Deborah, and me enough time to sneak in a movie before the party. Steve and I watched “The Amazing Spider-Man” while Deborah and Megan enjoyed “Magic Mike.” They were smiling about it for days.


(They had a mini Channing Tatumfilm festival—the following night we watched “21 Jump Street” and Deborah’s crush got the better of us and we watch “The Vow” a few nights ago.)



The pool gave way to the Slip ’n Slide.


Laura was a little under the weather but she was a trooper with her crazy cousins.


After eating some tasty grilled kabobs and corn on the cob, we wrapped up the evening with some group pictures. Laura was really droopy by this time. Getting these six kids to all smile at the same time proved quite challenging.


Karl and Nathan picked up where they left off.
