Since Easter is on Sunday (and we don't have school thursday) we started by coloring some eggs. Max, Jared, and Everett went on an egg hunt while RJ finished coloring his dragon egg.
Everyone then picked a water balloon and tried to cover it in shaving cream! At first some of the boys didn't want to get so messy, but everyone joined in after a few minutes.
Then the real fun started. The boys cleaned their hands in the tub of water and started throwing water balloons in the water and on the grass (which made them pop). I think the adults had just as much fun watching as the kids did playing.
Once all the balloons were popped we had snacks - apples, pretzels, marshmallows and goldfish - and moved on to bubbles and chalk.
RJ and Everett caught some of the bubbles they blew. Jared's Grandpa helped blow some bubbles for the boys to chase. Jared and RJ drew long lines all the way to the truck which they then used as a running track before going "splat" on the truck. :) Everett decided to draw a trophy for the winner, and everyone else eventually drew their own trophies. These boys have some creative imaginations!
They decided to play in the water with animal cutouts for the last few minutes. Everyone had fun being messy in the sunshine today!
