Water fight

Today was a scorcher of a day, 39-40c We stayed inside where it was cool for most of the day. We bought a table tennis table over with us so that the kids and us could still get some exercise over the really hot months, We have it set up in the family room and it takes the whole room up. Sean and I had a bit of a tournament today and I won 3 games he won 1 so at the moment I am the reigning champion.

The kids were hot and bored, so instead of going to the pools, Sean and I set about filling water bombs and placing them at different places out side then told the kids to get their togs on and come and have a water fight, so we had buckets of water, water guns, the hose and our water bombs.

The rules were the kids against mum and dad. That lasted a few minutes before I turned on Sean and started bombing him, so before long it was Sean and I against each other and the kids just squirting everyone. Sean having an advantage on me like those long legs and him being stronger to wrestle the hose out of my hands I had to come up with a plan. The water in the buckets and hose was like warm bath water (as we never have cold water in the cold tap) I had a big pump bottle in the fridge, so got that ran up to Sean while he was squirting me in the face with warm water, and let him have it, Well he squealed like a girl with the cold water.

We had heaps of fun and I think Sean and I probably had more fun than the kids, but it was a good way to cool down and water the grass at the same time.
