Water games
















The kids had so much fun at the regatta, in large part to the games they got to play after the races. They tossed water balloons, they had to hold a bottle full of water on top of their head and then run and hop down and around a cone and back. The last race was one child got to lay on the ground holding an empty bottle on their head, their partner ran to the other end with a sponge, filled the sponge with water and raced back to their partner. They squeezed the sponge into the bottle (kind of) and then ran back to refill the sponge. As you can see...more water landed on the child on the ground than in the bottle! :-) Then of course they switched places so both were soaking wet! You can see by Ryan's large smile..that he didn't mind getting wet one bit! :-)

Water games in the desert sounds like a great idea. Here in OR, everyday is filled with water games. Like the "Car Dash" and the "Will the Game Be Cancelled". Good times.

I can almost hear Ryan giggling in that picture.

I'm with Lori--those are really fun games to play in AZ. I have not even heard of such games in OR. Fun, fun, fun! --Nana
