WATER FIGHT!!!

Laurel pouring water on Josh

Lawrence about to get mom

Last Friday Azaria had a friend over and they found a package of water balloons we had never gotten around to using. They nicely begged for me to start filling them up as they had tried themselves and had very little luck. I found some buckets and sat down by the spicket and began to fill about a hundred water balloons which my fingers got very tired of tying. A few escaped my buckets early as the kids had to see just how well they would pop and a few got overfilled so I was wet before the balloons even started flying...lol

The neighbor kids saw what we were up to and quickly joined in on the water fight. I think the balloons lasted about 5 minutes tops before they were all gone. A few kids didn't even get to throw any as they didn't get over to our house soon enough. That didn't stop the kids though, they just took to filling up the buckets and soda bottles with water to pour on each other. The wagon was used to transport the water buckets to the next person to be doused. All the kids had a blast and I enjoyed watching it. We love our new neighborhood and all the friends on the block. We've already bought a few more packages of balloons from the dollar store and are going to get some other moms to help fill the balloons so this time all the kids will have some to throw and be able to have fun keeping cool in the heat.
