Summer is officially here and so is the new Patch website. So to combine both events, I'm composing my blog for the first time from a mobile device, and the topic is water balloons.
Have you had a water balloon battle lately? Young or old it's the perfect way to cool off. For my daughter's 7th birthday party we filled up an entire sled full of balloons.
Once her friends arrived the soaking began. Of course I couldn't resist chucking one at a kid, and once that shot was fired, I became the prime target. Everyone was dripping wet!
But sometimes if they balloon's not filled enough it bounces off and kind of hurts like getting punched with a boxing glove. But we had fun anyway.
Even the babies were in on it. I gave my 18- month-old a balloon with just a touch of water in it. He was bouncing that thing around trying to get it to break forever.
Soon though, as fatigue set in, too many rules were made, and arguments started. Time to go inside and eat a cupcake. Then the kids were happy again.
So that's my first mobile blog. Cute, right? Wave of the future. Spellcheck was handy. My thumb is a little tired but I'll survive. Not half as sore as tying 100 balloon knots.
