Our Life Group (small group) from church meets 3X a week during the school year: The 1st Thursday evening of the month all the adults get together at our house. The 2nd Thursday of the month only the men get together. The 3rd Thursday only the women get together. The last (or last 2 sometimes...) Thursday is off--no one meets. This way, as many of us are families with young kids, we only have to get a babysitter once a month. And the Schaefers luck out--we never have to get a babysitter to be able to participate in Life Group, as they meet at our house after our kids are in bed. Score. :)
In the summer we only meet once a month. 2 of those times are family events, and one time we go out for a fancy dinner on the town, just the adults. SO, this past Wednesday night was one of our fun family events. We had a BBQ/Pool party in our backyard, and it was fantastic. The weather was perfection. I only remembered to snap a few pictures one time, in between taking care of Cora/food, so I just quick snapped these from the back porch.

| SO much fun was had in the pool! I think next year we should figure out a way for the slide from the playhouse to end up in the pool... |

| There were 15 kids hanging out in the backyard at one time... |

| This configuration of chairs cracks me up. They started out this way due to the sun, and where the shade was positioned...and then they just stayed this way for the rest of the night. ;) |
