John and Adrienne have been working hard to fix the flaws in the
place, turning it into a true dream home.
With several options, the kids explored the pool; and not very long
afterwards they had changed into swimwear. (L2R: Dom's buddy,
Cameron, Dominic, and Gianna.
This being the warmest day we'd had so far, the party quickly became
a pool party. Here's Gianna about to try a dive off the fountain
while Dominic's friend Cameron enjoys the jacuzzi part of the pool.
This is Kyla, enjoying the embedded Jacuzzi.
Gianna and Dominic.
Gianna loves gymnastics, and can't seem to stop herself from
doing a spontaneous handstand or cartwheel.
Finally, Willie himself made an appearance. He's still learning to
swim. My bet is he'll have mastered it by summer's end.
From L2R: Kyla, Willie, Cameron, and Gianna.
We then gathered ourselves to the picnic table (which John
built) for a birthday dinner, to be followed by cake.
L2R: Kyla and Willie, and Dominic and Cameron.
It did start to cool as the sun set (one of the aspects of living in
a desert) but we were treated to an amazing display. Notice the fire
pit John put together.
John and Adrienne have definitely created an awesome space for their
family.
One of John's favorite things is to project movies or TV shows on a
screen set up in the yard. (He does this on camping trips, as well!)
Before we left, the birthday boy opened his presents. He was
admirably intent on completing this task as quickly and efficiently
as possible.
And so ended a terrific day of food, fun and family.
