“Pool” Party

This last Saturday (August 14th) the Mavuno families had a pool party! The girls, Hannah Helsby, Danae, and Launa Tanner, worked really hard these last two weeks to make a pool with a slip and slide down the hill. This “pool” is a hole in the ground with a tarp in it, accompanied by a ditch with a tarp, as the water slide- but it is a lot of fun. The Millers, the Helsby kids, Tanner kids, and Mbugua kids all got wet and had a blast Saturday. It was awesome to see all those kids splashing, sliding, yelling, and laughing.
