Since the Sudduth's are a glutton for social punishment, we decided it would be a great idea to follow our already hectic weekend with a Memorial Day pool party at our house. Now that sounds like we didn't want to have a party and didn't have fun. It's exactly the opposite! Life is too short to sit on the bench, so keeping it active is how we roll. And luckily we have great friends who like to get on board!
So that Pop up Tarp was a huge success!
The Redneck Pool
So Monday, we had lots of friends and lots of kids to our backyard for a pool party. First let's discuss the redneck side of things. Since we're too cheap to put in a real pool, we have purchased a very large rubber above ground pool, complete with air filter, cleaning and chemicals required to keep it clean. It's really large, about 12 ft. across and can hold 4-6 adults comfortably and 10 kids easily. Now for as much fun as this thing creates, everyone gives it a second look and gives us a little grin that says, "Your pool's a little redneck isn't it?" Well, they're probably right. But I don't care, the kids have a great time and Jen and I get to cool off on occasion. We even have floaty seats with cup holders for our Lone Star Beers...now that's Redneck!

Anyway, back to the party. We had a great time and with very little effort. For this little fete, we just told everyone to bring snacks and beverages, held the party from 2-6 and avoided the whole lunch or dinner headache. It worked out great, the Jones' even brought some of their special Louisiana Boudin which I have taken a quite a liking too.

And of course, ole' Riley was enjoying the festivites in a cool spot...away from those crazy kids!
By 6:30, the party was done, the kitchen cleaned and Daniel was in a bath preparing for next week's last days of school. And from the looks of it, although a bit Rednecky, the pool was a huge hit! Summer's off to a great start and we're really looking forward to lots more fun in the sun. As always, a huge thanks to our friends for sharing the Memorial Day Celebration and keeping our over-active social schedule intact.
