The Water Battle

About 10 days ago my girls had a brilliant idea to organize a neighborhood water battle. They quickly got to work planning and I soon discovered flyers posted on all nearby lampposts. 

They read:

Attention ALL kids!!!!!! 
(and adults) 

The Sorenson girls are planning a water battle!! 

Come prepared with your swimwear and your water guns! 
(If you don't have any water guns, we have a couple) 
 When: Monday the 27th/ Saturday the 1st
 Where: Creekstone North Park Hope to see you there!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Now, Memorial day was sort of a bust. It was rather cool out and so many people were out of town. But this past Saturday was a HUGE success!

Behold, the water battle:

There were several hundred water balloons. 

They were gone in something like five minutes.

But it was five minutes of pure joy. 

That's what childhood is all about, right?
