What a weekend

Saturday we went to my parents house so I could help my dad with his pool again. Two of my nephews were there also, so the kids could play together while we worked.

When we closed the pool up a month or so ago, we inflated one of those pool pillows and pulled the cover over it, as we normally do. That pillow deflated. Two weeks later (the next time I could get down there to help him) we replaced the pillow with another one. That pillow deflated. So this weekend, we've put the third pillow under the pool cover. Hopefully this one will stay inflated. In 20+ years he's had that pool, we can't recall ever having any pillow problems. And for many years, he used the same pillow.

Sunday was cool. We went to G's house for the afternoon. G and his wife have three kids. P and his wife were there too. They have four kids. Altogether there were five adults and nine kids. All of our kids, save one, are between the ages of 11 and 7. Five boys and four girls. They had fun playing and fooling around together. We had fun talking too. G, P and I even got to shoot some pool, which we haven't done together since college. I probably haven't played pool at all on my own since then either. P won four games, G won two games and I won one game.

V, M and I got back home just in time for them to have a quick snack and go to bed. Coincidentally or not I timed it perfectly, just in time for the kickoff of the Patriots-Colts game, which turned out to be the only real downer of the weekend.
