Bombs Away!

When a certain Uncle is in town for the 4th there is always a very anticipated water fight that will take place at the family barbeque. Ethan asked me everyday the week before the 4th "Mom, when is the water fight?" My kids came prepared with their guns and plans and I came prepared with a set of dry clothes for each kid. I'm glad I did.

The girls attacking!

The boys attacking!


The attackee.....Uncle Travis! He spent the whole day preparing his fort. He had hoses, shields, barricades and an endless supply of water balloons and squirt guns. My kids were not deterred, even with the unfair advantage. They went after him with all they had! They threw and squirted till they could squirt no more. They ran and shrieked and laughed!

They got very wet and felt a little defeated .....
until Uncle Travis emerged from his fort.



When they saw that he was more wet than they were they felt vindicated and declared themselves champions!
Until next year Uncle Travis.
Be afraid.
Be very afraid!

I read this on Travis's computer in Utah. Hilarious!

Ha ha, I just saw Travis's comment. Looks like you are outnumbered.
