Okay, we look pretty innocent, don't we??? Our church had a pool party/barbeque at one of the developments in our ward. I was amazed that the sign said "871 maximum capacity" by the pool. We had no where near that many! There were also a lot of people there not of our church. We hung out at the pool for a little while and then mosied (that's what us old folks do) over to get a hot dog and salad. I turned to see Larry talking to a lady who was demanding to know what group we were and who gave us permission to be in the pool. He thought she was joking at first thinking she was a member of our church that he didn't know. She was getting more upset by the minute so I told her who we were with and that didn't seem to calm her down. We have about 12-15 families from our ward who live in that development but she was upset because there were so many of us there. Our group was only scheduled to be there from 5-7 p.m. and by this time it was already after 6 p.m. We apologized to her and she left. About 40 minutes later the police came - yep two patrol cars. They kind of cased us out before actually coming over to talk to us. Our bishop was ready as he approached one of the officers with a water balloon - that's when we left. As we passed by them we saw everyone laughing and at ease so we think things are under control. Guess we'll find out tomorrow at church - if the bishop isn't there we'll know it wasn't.Saturday, August 15, 2009
Pool party raided by the police.....

too funny, glad your Bishop was there the next day!
Hillarious story! Your bishop must be a character :-).
Actually our bishop seems like a pretty quiet guy. He's only been bishop for about 3 months, is a retired airline pilot, and speaks so quietly over the pulpit that you really have to listen to hear him over the 100+ kids in our ward! But underneath it all I think there is a character lurking there!
Sheesh, can't leave you old fogies alone for a minute, you get into trouble! That's going to be a good family story to share with the grandkids *U*
