Backyard Bombings

Oh boys will be boys. The action continued on Saturday with boys weekend, with some water balloon action. Or as they've now come to call it - throwing bombs.


It was quite hot this weekend and the boys were looking for any way to stay cool. Cure for the heat: a pool full of water balloons. As I mentioned yesterday, Dave was trying to fill these while Drew was napping, so that when he woke up they could have some "backyard bombings".


As all men are, Drew is excited by the size as well.... of the balloon he's holding that is. Poor little (or should I say big) balloon didn't have a chance. It was thrown to the ground moments later.


I just loved this last picture of Drew. Looks like the boys had a lot of fun. How can I tell? Um, the balloon carcasses are still littering our backyard. Apparently they had too much fun to clean up!

"Strawberry" Throwing Contest

Rain on Drew's birthday prevented us from pulling out the water balloons during his part. It was perfect for the expected hot afternoon at the park.

Since we had all of them filled and ready to go, we decided to pull out the water balloons after everyone left.

Drew got one look at them, and began calling them Strawberries.

Huh?

That's right, we started throwing strawberries in our backyard. After a few lopped into the dirt that is our "would-be" garden, turning everything into a muddy mess, we had him chuck the strawberries against the fence.

Talk about some exciting business! Drew couldn't contain his excitement every time he managed to make one burst... these were some stubborn balloons.


We still have the "strawberry" remnants floating around our backyard. Every time he sees them he asks to throw more "Strawberries".
