Lamaze BBQ in New Jersey

Reagan's parents Rainbow and Chris invited us to their house in New Jersey for a barbecue. Unfortunately, Carolyn had to work since it is Labor Day weekend, and she is always extremely busy this time of year. But Avery and I went, and so did Oliver and his parents and Ernesto and his parents. It is kind of funny that we all just know each other from our "weekend warriors" Lamaze class, but we always have fun getting together for our reunions. It was cute to see all the kids playing together, especially since they are all the same age (born within 2 weeks of one another) and they are all doing the same things, more or less. Reagan has a dinosaur (or maybe dragon?) pool that all the kids enjoyed splashing in, and Avery LOVED Rainbow's homemade gruyere-cheddar-bacon macaroni and cheese (we all did). All the kids are babbling, crawling and walking everywhere, and loving bubbles, water, and dirt. They have all gotten pretty mobile, but it was still a relaxing afternoon for us parents who enjoyed sitting in the sun, drinking wine, and talking.

Avery and I were the first to arrive, so he and Reagan played together for a while. They enjoyed splashing in this water table so much that they both became soaking wet and we decided quickly to go ahead and put them in the pool without waiting for the other kids.
