Vance was the first to arrive, followed by Jason and George.
The three of them were probably tired from work, so they didn't go swimming right away. Instead, they headed straight to the food table and chatted with others as they ate.
Later, around 5 p.m., Uncle Jeremy, Uncle Wilder, and even Grandpa Omar finally arrived.
When they came, they didn't join the fun in the pool but instead sat down to eat and began drinking with the others. Nathan's parents were also there, enjoying a lively conversation with them.
Nathan's sister quickly bonded with Jasmine and the others, and they all had a good time in the pool.
As night fell, everyone remained in the back garden. The upbeat background music that had played all day slowly shifted to gentle, soothing tunes.
Most people had already had their fill of swimming, so many of the adults gathered around to drink together. Those who didn't want alcohol chatted while enjoying other beverages.
