Water Splashing Festival 2013

 Every year around Tobin's Birthday is also the local water-splashing festival. This has gotten more fun over the years. Our kids love it, of course. And now that Sophia has some really good neighborhood friends, she played hard all day every day for three days! I avoided it as much as possible. But I still filled 50 water balloons and refilled the guns umpteem times. And I was able to watch well from our first floor apartment! The outside sink was a huge blessing.
 Yang Yang and Sophia take on LuHaoZhe.
 The weather actually brought rain interspersed with sunshine.
 Mud pies were made, of course.
 We found a good gun for Tobin and he caught on quick!!!

Time for a break and some hot chocolate (it was a cool day and they had been soaking wet and freezing). These local girls loved it! We added marshmallows of course.

Sophia and Bella's school had an afternoon activity. David tried to take them to participate but they got stuck in traffic for twenty minutes and decided to turn around. Oh Well, they had fun in the neighborhood. David did take them out a few times to splash others. He always serves me in this way.
