Water Party

The Monday after 4th of July the big boys started a fun summer school camp called Bright Starts. The theme this summer was Oceans of Ideas. Everything the did was about oceans. They had a really fun time, even if Weston grumbled a little about having to go to school in the summer. It was for two whole weeks in the mornings from 8:30-12. They even got to go on a field trip to the Living Planet Aquarium. That kept us pretty busy during July, but we still managed to sneak in some other fun stuff. 

One afternoon the boys each invited 3 friends over for a water party. I got enough water squirters at the dollar store for everyone and they had a big water fight and ran in the sprinklers. There was an Otter Pop break and after that they ended up playing a game of Big Boy Brains, which is pretty much like baseball but with a PVC pipe sword as a bat and using a big spiky purple bouncy ball instead of a baseball. They all had a blast.

Davin's friends, Cole and Ella, were a little late so they stayed for awhile after the party officially broke up. These three crack me up. They are all pretty quiet kids, but when they get together they mesh so well. They sat out here on the swing set for about an hour just talking, having a screaming contest, and laughing. I'm glad Davin has his buddies in the neighborhood.

The entire water party took place while Beckett napped. When he got up he found the boys' Lego magazines on the floor and settled himself in for some reading time. Haha!
