DH and I are starting to plan for how we can have SIL and BIL over to enjoy our pool. SIL and BIL moved to the next town over back in January to be closer to family. I feel horrible that they packed up their lives, got new jobs, all to be able to see my ILs and us and my kids only to have everything go on lock down two months later. BIL is working out of the home (and is currently under precautionary quarantine because a coworker tested positive...BILs test was neg). SIL is working from home. We thoroughly enjoy SIL and BIL...I could hang out with them all the time...and so them moving here was a real treat for us and the kids. If BIL was not working outside the home, it would be a really easy decision and planning, but since he's at increased risk of exposure, we then are too. But we have a big back yard and our pool deck is pretty spacious, plus we have a patio. So I think we could have them over, BYOB/food, and just make sure that the 6 of us are not all packed onto the deck (probably can't have more than 3 people on deck with 6ft distancing). I think we'd avoid a meal time so that we don't have to worry about shared cooking. I know we could use the social contact and so could they. I think the hardest part would be keeping the kids separated from my BIL (who's a big kid himself) in the pool as they are used to horsing around with him.
