I think this story is a good example of how I expect delta to play out in the US.
I think we’ll see plenty of breakthrough cases for vaccinated folks within households and getting together for long periods. Sure, the vaccinated adults are well protected against the worst outcomes, but do you really want to be unwittingly spreading covid? Especially via your unvaccinated children?
People don’t seem to realize that if they have a head cold they should get tested for COVID, even if vaccinated. That if a family member has been exposed from a gathering, including unvaccinated children, that they should get tested and perhaps avoid extended family get togethers until they know they aren’t infected. That chances of breakthrough infections across several family members from extended exposure seems to be relatively high.

https://www.businessinsider.com/fully-vaccinated-mom-catches-covid-19-after-kids-summer-camp-2021-7The illnesses began after Young's daughters attended a summer camp the week before the July 4th weekend.
One of the girls' counselors went home sick early on in the week. It wasn't until Friday that campers and their parents learned she'd tested positive for COVID-19.
By then, it had already been three days, and Young's daughters weren't showing any symptoms, so they went ahead to join extended family at the beach for the holiday.
"We figured, 'OK, even if the kids are sick, we'll all be fine, it'll be fine, we're all vaccinated,'" she said.
All weekend, her three-year-old was "crazy cranky."
"Lots of meltdowns, lots of tantrums, very tired, but no discernible symptoms," she added.
By Monday evening, her six-year-old felt fatigued. She later developed a low-grade fever, headache, runny nose, and some nausea.
Some older adults in the beach house started feeling unwell too, with fatigue, and sore throats.
"There were six [fully] vaccinated adults in the house," Young said. "Four of us felt symptoms."
