If you've ever visited or lived anywhere down south in the middle of July, you know it's hot.  What better way to beat the summer heat than kicking back with an ice cold cocktail close to a large body of water.  The first pool party of the Tales 2016 season I was asked to document was thrown by the folks at Bayou Rum.  Pool parties are easy to take pictures of.  Liquor + summer heat + big pool = adults swimming around and acting like kids again.  Smiles were everywhere at this opening TOTC event and many shots of rum spiked drinks were had.  Ummm rum!
