• Fighting Water

  There's something about boys and a hot day that calls for water. The afternoon temperature had reached its peak and I heard Justin tell Jeremy and JJ to put their swimsuits on. JJ didn't need a second invitation. He was out the door in no time flat prepared for a good water battle. And, yes, that is my largest pan lid.

  

  It took Jeremy a little longer to decide that he didn't need to be fully outfitted, but he did grab his buckler and a hat in preparation.

  

  Justin, out of his cast for just four days and still a little unsteady on his feet, took the offensive position from the safety of the deck. His only weapon was the hose and he had no armor.

  

  The fighting force prepared to charge. They were ready for the onslaught of water and bravely strode forward.

  

  The barrage forced them to raise their shields in protection.

  

  The battle raged on as both sides bravely used their weapons, but the power of the water eventually brought the defense to their knees and a truce was called.

  

  Their weapons were laid down and they began to make their way to the safety of the house, but they hadn't counted on orders from mama to stay outside until they stopped dripping and to pick up their weapons. The water fight was over and the drying had begun.
