Summer Water Fun

Right before Jack was born we took the kids in the backyard for a good ole fashioned water balloon fight.  We had so much fun that it has become a tradition that we spend an evening in June in some sort of water battle.  This year the kids were playing in their tent and we ambushed them with the hose.  They would get brave and run out to grab the cushions from the patio furniture.  They turned their tent into a sinking pirate ship and would try and block the holes and dig out the water.  I got lots and lots of pictures, that is when Dale wasn't spraying me with water, although most of them I can't post on the blog.  It's no fun to keep all your clothes on when you're being sprayed with water.  I highly suggest ambushing your children with the water hose.

My favorite picture.  She melts my heart.

When it was time to go inside the kids dried off, got their pajamas on and had a hot cocoa picnic in the living room while they watched a movie.  If you haven't had a hot cocoa picnic you should try one of those too.  Just make sure to put a really thick blanket down that needs a good wash!
