bday67 girls' trip: birthday pool party for me!!!

Shhh... don't tell the other guests, but that so-called "Volcano Pool Grand Opening Celebration!!!" was really all about me!

 

Why else would the emcee keep looking at me when she was talking about the renovation and the re-painting of the volcano?

She knew the party was for me!!!

And a party it was!

Grilled hamburgers and hotdogs with all the fixings available, a large variety of chips and cookies and drinks, even potato salad (for those who eat such things)!

Music, music, music, with a live deejay and songs on request!

 

There were even two huge beach balls and several inner tube floats for anyone to play with, much to the delight of young and old(er) pool fans!

Chloe and Miyah are chasing after it in this shot, snapped in late morning.

They had convinced me to take them to the pool, while their mom was still sleeping, so we'd gone, though I didn't actually get in the pool until later.

I had wanted to let Christina sleep as long as she could!

After all, this was Saturday, the one day of the week she gets to sleep in, and I knew that would be a great start for her vacation.

(smile!)

After the free bday67 lunch, that's when I went back to the condo and changed.

Time for me to dance and play in the pool, too!!!

The water was a bit chilly at first, but I warmed up to it.

(Just a little pun there, y'all!)

Playing under that waterfall was lots of fun for me and the girls!

Christina found some folks and played 'pass the giant beach ball'!

Then, guess what?

There was a hula hoop contest... and she entered it!

She spun the hoops on her arm, first spinning just one, then two, then... three!!!

She won first place, too and is shown here wearing her prize: green-rimmed sunglasses!!!

Hahahaha!

That's why she entered: she'd left hers in the condo and didn't want to leave.

Hahahaha!!!

That's because Cypress Pointe supplied free dessert at 3 PM.

Hawaiian shaved ice, free for all, with a variety of flavors!

I had lemon!!!

We stayed another couple of hours then finally returned to the condo to shower and change clothes and wash hair.

Christina and Chloe went off to Aldi's while Miyah and I took "a walk".

Yep, back to the giant chess game we went for a rematch!

That game wasn't completed, either, as we were called back for spaghetti and ice cream... then a second trip to the pool for the girls.

What a wonderful day!

(smile!)
