Deck, Labor Day, Dan's Birthday pool party and BBQ

So...its done.. the deck is done... YIPPIE! After both of us suffering near heat stroke in the 100+ outside temps with 50% humidity Kip and I, with the help of Lily, Brandon, Dan and many onlookers we finished the deck right after labor day. We were still working on the finishing touches on the railing when the party guests for labor day and Dan's birthday arrived so the guys finished off and the party began! Erica always makes for a great rocket being launched in the air, Cameron's long gangly body makes the better splash! Lily is always entertained by "her" ducks and turtle (they are really chlorine tablet holders but we put rocks in the ones she plays with). We had a blast swimming and stuffed ourselves on a great feast. Thanks everyone for your help and for sharing Labor day and Dan's birthday with us. Sorry this write up is so short but we are fixen to fly to Montana tomorrow which is also Kips Birthday, its midnight and we haven't even started packing! When I get back I will HAVE to tell you about the best burger joint dive in Austin we all went to tonight for Kips birhtday. We saw it on the Food Network and just had to try it and its going to be our official birthday hang out! I will send a new update when we get back which is the weekend of Sept 29.
