A little story

Can you find the white water balloon in this picture?

Yesterday when I was starting to make dinner, Jace came up to me with an empty, white balloon left over from Gracie's birthday party.  He asked me if we could put water in it.  I told him sure!  He has never made a water balloon before. So we filled it up and he named it Freddy.  He carried it around with him for about an hour being very careful not to break it.  I suggested that he hide on the deck when his Dad got home so he could throw it at him.  Oh, it was a fun plan.  When Ryan walked through the deck door, Christopher Robin gave that balloon a toss, right at Ryan.

But the unexpected happened.  The balloon hit Ryan, but didn't break, and then rolled off the deck and splattered on the patio below.

This event left Ryan happy, and Jace distraught.

But Ryan, being the good sport and fun Dad that he is, helped Jace fill up another balloon.

And sure enough, he let Jace have another shot.

Which produced wonderful results for Christopher Robin.

Then Gracie got a turn too!

Ryan handed her a little balloon, and when she went to give it a swing right at her Dad,

she squeezed it too hard, and it exploded all over her,

leaving her absolutely mortified!

And this is the story of how our first water balloon fight went down!
