My cousin, Monique, sent the girls beach towels and water squirters for their birthdays.
After the girls' double birthday par-tay, they wanted to play with them.
Having never used water squirters before, Eli and I did the mature thing and filled the squirters up, showed the girls how to "pump" them to create air pressure, and proceeded to have an elaborate water fight, dodging around the cars and running all over the neighbourhood yelling, chasing, wrestling, and drenching each other BEFORE we let the girls have a turn.
Ah, the high road.
Needless to say, it didn't take the girls' neighbourhood pals long to run into their house, hollering to Jaime for their own squirters, so Eli helped all the kids fill up their little water tanks.
And, then, declared a water battle against the kids.
United against Eli, and under the Midnight Sun, the four kids were PUMPED!
*You can't tell from the sun, but it's about 7 pm in this picture.
They plotted, and tried to ambush Eli.
However, Eli was equipped with a hose and was happy to drench the kids as they squealed and ran around.
Here, the kids are trying a direct attack.
But, Eli turns and sneaks behind the car.
And totally nails Mr. W!
Oh, the joy to the kids' faces was only out-shone by Eli's look of satisfaction in drenching the kids, and he hid behind his boat.
"Aaah!!"
"This is the BEST WATER FIGHT EVER!"
Seriously, who is the bigger kid?
Miss G took some time to channel her artistic inspiration.
Cute little water hearts everywhere!
My doodler.
I would say that the girls are LOVING the summer weather and endless sun after our long and relentless winter.
Wouldn't you?
