In good company

Reading and math aside, one of the skills Will has learned (according to his teacher last year) is to choose his friends wisely. We are lucky, indeed, that he apparently took his parents into consideration and chose friends with parents we like. Among them, the Greggs, who hosted a handful of families for a pool party a few weeks ago. That's Ellie with the blue water wings in the foreground and Will on the inflatable... whale?
They were so gracious, sharing their pool and themselves. Hope you've recovered full use of your trachea, Bob!
The boys had a wild and wacky time. And the little sisters—who have a couple of years on Ellie but are always kind enough to include her—may look sweet here, but I suspect they participated in plenty of shenanigans, too.
