Strachan Pool Party

This weekend was spent down in Toronto at my aunt and uncle's place for our annual Strachan Pool Party weekend. My uncle had called Curt last week and asked him if he wanted to go with him to the Canadian Open because he had got some tickets through work so we headed down nice and early on Saturday morning to be there for 9 so they could head over and take in some golf before the pool party was to start.
Saturday was one hot day, but unfortunately the sun did not decide to join us for the pool party until after supper. They had been calling for rain all week for Saturday and sun for Sunday, so we had decided that we would spend the night on Saturday night so we could maybe enjoy the pool on Sunday in the sun. We did manage to go in the pool after dinner on the Saturday, and Jaxon had a blast. He had his water wings on and was one swimming machine.
Unfortunately the first time he jumped in the water for the weekend he did not have his swimsuit on yet, and me either for that fact. My mom was letting the dogs out for a pee earlier in the afternoon and Jaxon decided that he was going to go and play with the ball by the basketball net. After he picked up the ball, he thought he could shoot it for the net, but the net was facing towards the water. He fell in the pool, and I was not to far behind him to rescue him. What a little bugger. It did not even faze him though....no fear in the world this kids has.
Saturday night was beautiful. We had a bocci ball game after dinner and after dark everyone decided that it was time to get their swim on. They went from the pool to the hot tub, and even Jaxon was going along with everyone, until I finally thought at 11:30 it was time for the little boy to go to bed.Sunday when we got up it was a little overcast, but finally after breakfast the sun come out and it was a beautiful day. We decided that we would spend the afternoon in the pool and then head home. While, but the time I finally got enough energy to get things packed up, and drive home it was after 9 by the time we got home.
Next year I hope that the sun decides to make its appearance on the Saturday so we can have our pool party that day, because I am one tire girl at work today!!!!
