Water fight!

The best part of Friday was most definitely our post-house blessing water fight! We promised the kids water balloons on Thursday. So, of course they wanted to break them out as soon as we showed up on Friday morning, but we made them wait. There weren't as many balloons as intended because the faucet attachment that came with them didn't work very well, so we planned a water game involving sponges also. It all started off so organized...then it turned into a free-for-all of throwing buckets of water/wet sponges/water balloons at anyone you could outrun! It actually felt pretty good!

Handing out balloons from the back of the van. We quickly realized the game where everyone pairs off and throws the balloon back and forth at an ever-increasing distance until it breaks wasn't going to work, so assignment #1 was to throw them at Cody!

Game #2: The first person in line wets the sponge in the water cooler, then everyone passes it back over their heads until the last person squeezes it into a bucket. Goal = fill the bucket. The last person then runs to the front of the line and the cycle repeats. Needless to say the buckets didn't have a chance to get very full...

Whoever took this one caught a bucket being emptied on someone in mid-air. Nice!

Now there's a good idea...use me as a shield. A) I'm smaller than you. B) I don't think so!!!

Until next time, blessings!
