3rd Annual Foxfire Water War

Several families in the 'hood gathered last month for our annual water fight. We knew from last year that we needed LOTS more ammunition so this mommy spent two afternoon's worth of "nap time" hunched over the sink filling and tying water balloons. I can officially say that I HATE the tying part. My fingers were pretty much numb after all of that tying. But the joy on our boys' faces after hurling balloon after balloon on to the ground was worth it all.

Cole and Carter were so excited to get going!Asher was mostly interested in sucking on the balloons.After a few long tosses across the street...

...the full-on attack began.

Kids were soaked, parents were soaked, cars were soaked, and roofs were soaked. Nobody and nothing was safe.

About the time that all of our balloons were gone (about 4 minutes) Sherri came across the street fully loaded. She had Chris' name on each and every one of those balloons...he may be a little ornery.But, I think he got the last word in that fight.Seth soon found the hose and attacked Chris again...he must be an easy target?!?Toddler on a mission...gun in hand. Shoes are optional for this attack.Look who else showed up for some wet and wild fun?? Our buddy Cru!Dana and Sherri pulled out a water balloon launcher, and Carter thought he needed to try it out. Streeeeeetch! He was successful!Cole and Asher manned the water jug.Here are the war participants!And all of the kiddos. I'm pretty sure the big "kids" had just as much fun as the little ones. ;)Cru and Carter after the fight.

Thanks so much neighbors for another awesome water fight. We love living around such crazy, fun people!
