1 Sam planned a rock concert and pool party several days ago, telling me whom to invite and when it would be. Last night he picked out the hot dogs and snacks for his friends. He chose well, huh? Give your friends the good stuff, man, that's the way to be a popular guy!
2 So here we are, jamming to "Waitin' on a Sunny Day" (which we were) in our swim suits so we were ready for anything - showers if they came, then pool.
3 This is the stage :)
4 These are Michelle's three great kids.
5 Whoa! Some stage jumping might have happened! Michelle said "No stage diving, ok?" I sort-of heard that, but then my mischievous brain offered that they could jump (since Sam jumps off here all the time). Oops! I explained that stage jumping is different than diving, right? I guess I have those pool rules mixed up with concert rules! LOL :)
6 Look at these guys :) Now we have The Band's "The Last Waltz" on. The Band celebrated their last concert in 1971 (I think) by inviting all their friends to play with them. It's a great concert. And suitable for inviting all of our friends to the deck concert. Good choice, Sam.
7 Ben uses anything for a microphone. He LOVES to sing at the top of his little lungs :)
8 Sam's faces are so funny - you can tell he's been watching some dynamic performers :)
9 Eva on the drums!
10 Ooops! More stage jumping!
11 Michelle plays the sax...grownups bring instruments next time!
12 Go Michelle!!!
13 A last set before we grill up some dogs.
14 Lunch time!
15 Then a romp in the pool - who cares if it's grey out, when kids run and play, they are warm! And we're wet anyway. With virtually no lightning or thunderstorms in Hawaii, it's safe to swim almost any time it rains.
16 Getting splashed by the first wave of jumpers :)
17 Look at the form on these kids!
18 Little Ben is not to be left out!
19 Doing funny faces under water :)

21 Nice one!
22 Now it's pouring!
23 We're going - it's much warmer to stay in until the rain passes!
24 Big guy :)
25 Eating Cheetos to stay warm. They also work well as life preservers. Michelle and I thought they'd make a good raft if stuffed into clothes tied together. They don't seem to lose shape in the water. Hmmmm... Great time, guys! Thanks for joining us!
