Neighborhood Water Fight!
On Monday evening we were invited to a neighborhood dinner get-together and a neighborhood water fight afterward. At the bottom of the invitation it said "beware of old men with buckets". Our neighborhood is a good mixture of retired couples and young families. We fit perfectly in the middle with our two teenage boys. Not really knowing what to expect, one neighbor warned us in advance to not open our door if someone rings the doorbell. This was serious stuff! According to one neighbor, it used to be a neighborhood tradition until it got out of hand one year when people were chasing each other in and out of houses soaking everything in their path. Well, I guess the tradition is back because one neighbor works for a local excavation company and surprised everyone when he showed up with a water truck. They had fun driving up and down the streets soaking everything and everyone in its path! Everyone had a blast and we all went to bed soaking wet and cold. We live in a great neighborhood!
