We had a party

nosrednaydujThis was our first summer party in three years. We made it be outdoor only, and so there wasn't really boardgames. We did try to arrange for that to happen by having screen houses with card tables in them, but nobody actually did that.
There was a lot of lake activity. One of the guests turned out to be an accomplished knee boarder, and so when I offered to drag him around behind a boat he was interested and we had a conversation in which he said that he knew how to ski, but he really was better at knee boarding, and I said "well we have one…" And it turned out that it was of fine board after all, I had no idea its quality, and he was able to do it, and he also taught two other people how. So everybody was very happy. I also dragged many people behind the boat on the tube, which does not really require any skill. (It's possible to suck at it, but it's unusual.)
There was also a lot of food and conversation, and a good time was had by all.
We ended the party shortly after sunset, and I managed to conscript a number of people into disassembling tables and so forth, so while there is a fair amount of work to be done in the morning, it could be worse.
