Water Fight!

This last Saturday our ward had a big water fight at the park. It was so much fun. After a couple of rainy days the weather was awesome. It was in the low 80s for most of the morning. Nearly unheard of for August in Arizona. They started out with breakfast to fuel the fun. They served pancakes and scrambled eggs with sausage.






















Christiaan suppervised and Jacob flipped pancakes.























Sam really liked those pancakes. (Yep, those are Sarah's ramen noodles.)



Then came the water fun! Two of the guys had brought 500 gallon water tanks and there were 65 gallon buckets that the kids could refill from. Of course you had to fight your way past the water hoses to use them. I know at least one of my kids ended up in one of the buckets. The kids were trading guns and squirters all over the place.

Getting warmed up.

Back for a refill.

Sam found another squirter.

Even Sarah found a way to get wet with a squirt gun.



Finally, we finished off the morning with ice cream. (Hmmm, breakfast and ice cream. I wonder who came up with that idea?) Even though they had to go home and shower off all the grass and mud, the kids all agreed that this was the best way to start the school year.

**Obviously, I need more practice at this. No matter how many times I try to edit it, something is always screwy.**
