What do you do when 20 kids start screaming SNAKE IN THE POOL!? (No we were not making a homeschool movie)  You have a dad grab the pool skimmer and one kid ask where the snake book is and all the kids start gathering around wanting to know is it poisonous.  Once it is caught you are surprised no one is pushed in the pool as everyone is jockeying for position to see the snake as it is quickly identified as Non-venoumous and 10 moms quickly yell NO to the question of "CAN WE KEEP IT?".  One mom joked that we fulfilled the first months science coops requirement!

The Oops was the bag of tortilla chips left on the gas stove the controller accidentally turned and the small fire.  It was quickly extinquished with wet towels.  The smell wasn't too bad. 

No accidents, and we didn't have to make use of the friendly homeschooling father/family practice doctor (yes our friendly family doctor is in our local homeschool group!).

The party was a great success -- everyone had a great time, we got to meet lots of new people and get better acquainted with the others -- beyond just the craziness of park time and MNO. 

I am exhausted so time to go soak in the tub and CRASH!
