Water Balloons

Everybody loves throwing water balloons! They love getting wet, they love watching them pop or in some cases roll down the driveway...but for me - I love taking pictures of them throwing water balloons. I took about 50, weeded it down to 5 favorites from the day - that was hard.

The only thing I don't love about water balloon days - is filling them up! I usually do it the night before and store them in buckets and coolers for the following day!


We fill between 100 and 200 balloons so the fun will last...BUT it takes about 90 minutes to fill them and only about 20 to pop them all. Oh well, it is all in the name of fun!

Cute suits! I agree - the balloons are fun but what a pain filling them up and tying them. Your poor fingers!

I don't mind any of the prep -- it's the clean-up I LOATHE!!!

And as much as my kids "promise" they'll help me, they seem to get distracted when it comes to that part of the day! :)

Cute pics though Terra -- you are a good Mommy! :)

I'm with Kim...the clean up is the worst. Especially now that we have Koda, he will eat whatever doesn't get picked up.

Great shots Terra!!

100-200! Wow, you are so good! Me? I'm more like I buy water balloons with the intent of filling them up...and then I forget. But thanks for the reminder. We need to haul some out soon.
