Backyard Party in Annapolis

For the past 3 years, a colleague has invited me to an annual party at his lovely house in Annapolis.  The first year, the sewer backed up.  The second year, we had bed bugs.  But this year, we made it.  Ellis played some horseshoes and Anders attacked the beach ball -- left-footed.  Ellis was also brave enough to get in the pool by herself, and stayed in there for an hour.
