One Snapchat Post

My husband told me this morning, “you missed all the excitement last night.”   He is a director on the board of trustees in our neighborhood and last night he was up late, with the police, trying to repel high school students from our community pool.   It wasn’t a pretty sight.   Well after the party had been broken up, people continued to arrive and flood the neighborhood.  

There was damage to the clubhouse pool deck.  Glass was broken and got into the pool, chairs were destroyed and a very large mess was made.   But no one was hurt.    Overall the response from the neighborhood has been mostly positive.   Some families are concerned and angered but many families are understanding and supportive of the parents this happened to.

The thing that bothers me the most is the student that caused the party made a snap chat post and through reposting the party got our of control.    What is particularly disappointing is the student is a foster child to a family on our street.   It’s so east to place blame and not be supportive.   Hopefully everything will turn out okay.  No one was hurt and the damage is overall minimal.  

The Big Boy Update:  My son said several things in the car tonight, following it with, “you can learn from TV”.

The Tiny Girl Chronicles:  My daughter had a braille book sent home by Dolly Parton.   She heard from us she was a singer.   Now every time we’re in the car and it’s my daughter’s turn to pick the song, she asks for music by Dolly Parton.   That means it’s Country Music Central in our car fifty percent of the time now.
