We got to spend the day as a family at Day Camp this year! Friday is always family day...and water wars! So you have to go, knowing you'll get wet...unless you wear a big orange vest to let everyone know you're off limits! I had to wear one this year because of Alliyah... : )
Elli started the day picking posies while waiting for the activities to begin.
The first station the boys went to was the fire hoses! The idea was to use the water to move the water jug down the rope to the other team's end. The boys got SOAKED! Kaity and Elli participated too...for a little while, but they didn't want to be up front and get totally soaked!
Here Zach is actually manning the hose, but you can't see him. Behind him is Nathaniel, Kaity and Elli. Kaity and Elli are trying to shield themselves from the blast! What a good big sister Kaity is!
Here the boys are....SOAKED!!!
Liah got tired of sitting to watch all the fun, so she thought she would stand...for a better view, I guess!
Nathaniel manning the hose!...AGAIN!
Zach manning the hose...AGAIN!
Elli likes the view much better from here!
Little Liah...just bein' cute! : )
This was the interesting creature we were greeted with at the bottle rocket station! At the end of the post is a little video of a launch!
Nathaniel trying his hand at a slingshot...under Daddy's watchful eye.
Zach's turn!
Kaity and Elli got to try too!
Emptying the firetruck!

Daddy was practicing too.
After lunch the kids got to see some animals up close...and how to bathe a goose for the fair!
The kids got to pet baby chicks.
Then, back to the games! They had to soak a sponge then pass it to the back of the line over their heads, squeeze the sponge, pass it back up, etc. to see who could fill the bucket at the back of the line the fastest!
This was a BIG slingshot for water balloons!
Their last station was a big water gun battle! The "forts" were pretty much destroyed by the time they got to this station, so it was everyone for themselves!
Daddy in action!
Zach on attack!
Nathaniel's sneak attack!
The boy's pack was responsible for closing ceremony. Here they're retiring the flag.
We had a great day! The weather was excellent! Hot and sunny! Perfect for Water Wars!
