I Suck At Pool Parties

following dim sum, a bunch of my friends and i were invited to my friend's (ron) for a pool party. too bad i suck at pool parties.

incidentally, ron lives just a few miles up the street from me. you'd think that with the proximity of our houses, that we'd hang out more often. sadly, we don't. i keep thinking that i should call ron more often every time i do get the chance to hang out with him because it's just fun. unfortunately, we just seem to have different schedules.

anyway, ron recently added an in-ground pool to his backyard. he also added an in-law apartment as well for his parents. in fact, he apparently just completed the finishing touches to the pool yesterday. needless to say, the pool and the backyard... awesome. i don't know where or how ron finds time to do these projects... especially with three kids. he must have great focus when he's not drunk and smeared in garv's wedding cake... i have a hard enough time doing simple projects and i don't have any children yet.

(pictured below are marc, cass and garv putting their feet in the water.)


anyway, the pool party was fantastic. ron and his wife (trinh) know how to throw parties. the food was simply delicious. trinh has a secret recipe for spring rolls involving taro... so good. (cue rachael ray's "yum-o" sound.) i must have eaten a dozen spring rolls.

all the children that were there loved the pool. they are also so well behaved. it's amazing! i can only hope that when my minion (bruce, the little dragon) is born, he/she will be as well behaved as some of those children that were there.

i even got to try the moonwalk machine! luckily, i did not exceed the weight limit for the moonwalk. (the moonwalk is the inflatable thing that you can jump and bounce around in.) it was fun.

needless to say, i had a great time at ron's. i'm already looking forward to the superbowl party there now.
