Every year the Hyrum firefighters wage water war against the innocent (or not-so-innocent) children of the community. The firemen get big fire hoses and all of the kids share a garden hose and any water guns and balloons they bring.
Before the fight my sister, sister-in-law and I filled up about 200 water balloons for the grand kids. They had one common target - Grandpa Guy! My dad is a fireman with Hyrum City and it makes it that much more entertaining!
Honestly, I'm not sure if the kids or I had more fun. I'm always up for a good water fight, but haven't been in one for many, many years. I had a blast, if you have access to my sisters blog she has a few pictures of me, drenched!
Grandpa Guy - with the big fire hose....
Max was fearless! His squirt gun was 3 inches long and he would run after the fireman. The look on his face was awesome! He was amazed by the fire truck. I loved that he would run straight into the big fire hoses water holding his gun out like he was actually getting them!
No part of me thought Grace would actually play along, too many kids, and she HATES water on her face. But she did so well. She loved trying to throw the balloons at Grandpa. I loved seeing her be so care free.
Some of my nieces - Adi, Libby and Nayvie. My favorite part is that we get to do this with the cousins each year, what fun memories!
Max was so cold his lips were blue, but he could never stay wrapped in a towel for longer than a minute and he'd be off chasing someone again.
This fireman has a big fat target on his back for next year. His name is Kevin, and fireman Kevin dumped a big fat bucket of water on me 2 minutes into the fight. I got him back, but I don't forget. My dad says he doesn't either so we'll have to see how next year goes! Mary was not playing, and he succeeded in getting her wet, along with his wife who was behind the fence. I'm pretty sure she's still not talking to him.
This last picture is my nephew Tytan running to throw balloons at my dad, seriously these kids give it there all every year!
