I'm going got put this out as a little practice run to see if I can make this thing (and me) work again.
Colin is seven today. 7. That seems impossible, but here we are. We celebrated last weekend with a family party.
We attempted to have a water ballon/water gun fight at the party. Can I get an amen on the fact that "staying in the house" cannot be the plan for the entire party?
The water balloons wouldn't blow up and that made the inequity of the size of the water guns seem particularly unfair to those with the dollar store varieties.
The burgers were ready to go on the grill and the party was winding down, but Jason suggested we head to the pool anyway. We did and it solved all the problems.
Everyone cooled down and got way wetter than any water balloon fight.
We returned back home, hungry as could be for dinner but relaxed and happy. Here's to the neighborhood pool and kids splashing around together!
