We’ve reached the end of our Cup Match long (long) weekend, it was a great one this year – weather was ideal the entire time (unlike last year!), and we had lots of time together with our friends which was awesome.
We went to the 2nd annual “Fashfest” pool party at the House of Fash (Suzy & Fash’s place) on Friday, which turned out great.  Last year’s was great, too, but the weather wasn’t good so we were stuck indoors for a lot of it – this weekend was perfect (hot) weather, ideal for hangin’ by – and in – the pool!
Here’s the ‘official’ poster for this year’s bash – happily dubbed “Georgefest” on request of Fash’s son George, who was here for a visit.

Some pool hijinks…

 The gracious hosts, who let us all invade the house and pool for a day…

George & his Dad stealing some quality time… and George modelling his Georgefest T-shirt (I made these up for him and a few of the other kids and adults, you may see the shirts in some photos here and there.)

Here’s Henry, giving us the big smile!!  Good job, Henry’s mom (it was her doing)…!

Mmm…

Isla sure looks thirsty… Bethany can’t watch!

Missed a spot with the sunscreen… oh well, it’s not too bad!

Keeping an eye on things…

Suzy’s sister Catherine & her hubby Matt were down with Ben (Benny!); he shyed away from the pool most of the time (though we did get a picture of him in it earlier), but he seemed to be pretty content in front of the camera…

Lovin’ those ribs… mmm!

Some of the great food we pigged out on… ribs and pulled pork!  Nice job, all you cooks!

And what party would be complete without having some special ‘Fashfest / Georgefest’ M&Ms?  (Nice touch!)

Most had left before the outdoor movie was able to start at the end of the night (as we had to wait until dusk to begin), but those that remained enjoyed watching Lightning McQueen on the big screen!

Until next year…!
