It's Hard to Say Goodbye

The Emersons are moving to New Braunfels.  Boo!  We had to have one last swim party to say goodbye.  Almost everyone was able to make it and loved being able to hang out with Justin, April, Cowen, Corbett and Baby Wren.

We had quite a crew in our backyard!

We will all miss Justin, the life of the party.  He is always the first one to jump in!

Such a fun-loving person.

We will also miss these sweet boys...

and of course, we'll miss their mama and baby sister, too.

It was so fun to kick off the summer with some of our best friends.  Cami was ready!

She joined Finley, Chloe, Brooklynn and Madison, and was all about swimming with the big girls.

I was thrilled that Baby Josie let me hold her!

My girls!  Anytime with these girls is a good time.

The only stinky part about the night was when Cami got stung by a wasp that flew out of this grill.  Ouch!

Other than that, everyone was all smiles.  Jackson was thrilled that he got to invite Beau.

 

I'm pretty sure Beau enjoyed himself, too!

These boys played all night long.

The girls did, too, and only stopped for dinner for a few minutes.

The guys hung out near the pool and some were even on baby duty!

Meanwhile, Jared was at the Angels playoff game watching these cute girls WIN!  They beat the Sweet Cleats, the undefeated team in their league, and won 12-11!

And guess who scored the winning run AND made the tag that saved the runner from getting to 3rd base??  This blondie on the right!  That's my girl!

I was so sad that I missed it, but very happy when I got to hug her neck that night.
She was just beaming when she got home.

The kids swam until way after dark.  Full pool--just the way we like it!

They went back and forth between the warm hot tub and the cool pool.

Cameron was thrilled to pieces to go down the slide.  She had such a great set-up.  Madison would go down with her, while Teagan and Allie waited for them in the water with the rafts.  Now that's what I call good friends!
