Today we attended the birthday party of Scott best hunting buddy Rich. It made me really sad that we do not have our family to gather with on Sundays like our friends do. If I had a genie in a bottle it would be to be able to gather at my parents home I grew up in on Sundays with family all around. Rich has a lovely wife Jen and 4 children. They had lots of family there and a few neighbors. Jen is pretty handy with home making skills. At the party we had home made Cafe Rio salads- yummy. The party was wonderful and she made it all look very easy.They have an amazing home and back and front yard complete with out of a magazine landscaping which Jen tends too. I was commenting on the yard when Jen replied "It is a big yard but it is great because with the space it is like the kids aren't even here". I thought she is right I don't even here any kids. There were around 20 kids running around at the gala event so to have no noise was a feat. Then we both smiled and realized they were mostly missing. Yip all the younger kids had been invited by a generous 2 year old to a "pool" party at her home. Her parents were not smiling as we learned this info since they don't have a pool. On further investigating the "pool" was actually the master bathroom bath tub with a slide from outside. The younger kids, totally nude were happily sliding into the tiny amount of water the girls could carry in cups from the kitchen. We learned most of this initially from one of the older kids who said "The little kids are all down at the buck naked party". We started to laugh because what small child knows the meaning of Buck Naked? Rich asked him what Buck Naked meant? He replied "Duh daddy, it is when you can see your bum, naked" as opposed to just naked with no bum we gathered. I wonder if he meant topless verses bum naked? What he was really saying was Bum naked. I have never been to a bum naked party so thus the confusion. I am glad no one drowned and it is scary how fast kids can disappear with a yard full of adults. I asked Scott if he might enjoy a Bum naked party with me at our house- he did not accept... in fact he gave very discouraging looks at me. Too bad I did not meet him say, 30 plus years ago, when we were both 2ish- maybe then he would have been more interested:)
