Water War!!

On a recent day off, we considered heading to a pool, or going to play mini golf, or ride go-karts.

But why, we reasoned, when there is so much fun to be had in our own backyard?

A hose, some super soaker guns, an old syrup bottle and plenty of heat. It's the perfect mix for a family battle. Jenna's game face is on:Emily spies a vulnerable opponent:It's amazing how cold the water is when the air temp is hovering near 90. One of our favorite things about the war was hearing Karen scream when she got torpedoed by a blast from a gun or an exploding balloon.

We were all merciless. And you'd think we would get used to it after a bit, but every time that water hit you, it was a shock like the first time.

I'm pretty sure our water came straight from some melting snow pack up in the mountains.

We all agreed, a great way to spend a summer morning.
