Water Balloons and New Friends

Saturday, we went to a friend's house that was hosting a party for friends in town from Atlanta. It was so far away that Collin was able to see almost an entire movie in the car on the way there. When we got there, it took him several minutes to check out the people in the house and backyard. There were several kids there but he did not know any of them. They were all around his age so he was interested in what they were doing but wanted to watch before joining in. We brought a bathing suit because we knew there would be a kiddie pool. He wanted his suit on but did not get in the water because "it's dirty Mommy. Look at all of the leaves in there". He fished in the pond instead that was full of magnetic plastic fish. He had a great time doing that until he saw that there were water balloons being made. He is VERY familiar with these because he has participated in at least two balloon fights this summer already.

He could not wait to get the balloon fight started. It was for through kids only but the parents taking pictures close by became fair game. I was surprised that they listened and only threw the balloons at out feet. Can't you tell from this picture that Collin was about to involve me in the fight? Why not, he was having a blast going it ..... and the water felt great.
