Water Balloons

Remember this post about our neighbors moving, well they ended up around the corner in the same neighborhood. We saw them last weekend when we stopped at a garage sale and recognized the lady. How odd is that, so the house next door is on the market to bee sold to hopefully someone with a young kid, wishful thinking?
In that same post I told you about the fun time we had playing with water balloons and it was so much fun we had to do it again! Summer isn't a big fan of getting wet for some reason, I know, strange kid, but she likes playing with these balloons and when they pop and happen to spray her she is ok getting wet.
First I have to tell you what happened while I was filling the balloons up, we have this system where I fill up the balloons with the faucet on the house and hand them to Kris and he ties them. Papa and Summer were sitting near the end of the walkway and Kris decided to throw a balloon in their general direction. The balloon ended up landing in the dirt bed just a few inches away and when it did it made a wonderful THUD, popped, and threw up watery dirt up ALL OVER Summer and Papa. Luckily Summer had her back turned to the dirt but she ended up with muddy watery dirt all over the back of her shirt and legs. Papa did not get hit with as much dirt but was not happy to see Kris and I over near the house doubled over laughing our butts off. It really was one of the funniest things ever, and the fact that Summer had no clue that mud had been flung all over her back made it even funnier. That set the right mood for the rest of the time we spent playing in the front yard that afternoon.
I filled up several balloons and put them in a container for Summer and daddy to do what they wanted, throw them up in the air, let them roll down the driveway, throw them at each others feet, pop them with their teeth, and they had a blast.





See the mud on Summer's arm in the last photo (hehe)! It was a nice scorching hot day and we had a lot of fun playing, I bought a large package of water balloons so we will be back outside in the near future to fill up, pop, throw, bite, roll, kick, step on, and have fun with water balloons.
