The Joy of Water balloons!

For one dollar and seven cents (maybe a little more depending on the tax in your area), you can buy about one hundred chances to soak a loved one and listen to them squeal! Rarely can so much enjoyment be had for so very little cold hard cash.

Regardless of your age, playing with water balloons can be a great way to spend a summer afternoon or evening. Whether you play for bragging rights in a water balloon toss, or plan to ambush a family member arriving home from work, don't deal out more than you are willing to take! It is not sporting to cower and howl with irritation when a loved one sneaks up on you and "shares" a little water with you a day or so after you've soaked them!

So, dig up a little spare change and create memories with your favorite people.

You don't need a holiday, birthday or other excuse play.

Of course if you want to make up a pretend reason, go right ahead...I won't tell.

I thought I heard someone say that tomorrow is "National Soak Someone You Care About Day"!

When I was a child, I have many fond memories of family "water fights". We would all end up chasing each other around with buckets and hoses. Several times, these events turned into neighbourhood specticals, with many families joining in (and several houses with outsite taps to replenish the ammunition). The water balloon idea is a great one! Kids seem to just love the feel the a water balloon squishing and sloshing around in their hands. I will be stopping off at the dollar store later today!
