Unlike last year, Collin was glued to the water balloon tank AND participated. He spent 1 1/2 hours at the tank throwing balls and trying to dunk the person in the water. He aim was awesome with at least 80% accuracy. The parents and even the other kids were amazed and commented on his accuracy for such a small kid (he was the youngest at first by at least 3 years).
He then found the kid games which gave candy as the prize. That was MUCH better than no prize with the dunking both. He was not interested in EATING the candy. He just wanted to win it and then give it to one of us. While there, he ate almost an entire hot dog. He just had a full Luchable 2 hours before that and did have a big lunch. The kid was H-U-N-G-R-Y.
Towards the end of the party, it was time to throw 2,000 water balloons. The kids AND the adults had a blast. I am glad that Collin remembered my rule from the last time he had water balloons....throw below Mommy's knees....and he did....about 15 of them. He got Daddy good a few times. Once, someone pelted him in the neck really hard and he started to cry....and then he got over it quickly when he saw an unbroken water balloon roll in front of him. He scooped it up and threw it at me....the feet. :)
With the fun from the birthday party and the block party, he did not take a nap and still stayed up until after 10pm. Glad he did sleep in some this morning.
