4th of July
Oh, don't worry. I will watch them.
There goes my plans to go for a nice jog.
(internal giggle because I am the only one laughing)
On your marks...
Get set...
Go!
Kickin' the Crackers
One of my all-time favorites...the parachute!
Found it!
All the while, Brock is fishing for frogs.
He never seems to come up empty handed.
He had some spectators looking out of the window.
Spency didn't know what to think.
Supper Time
Papa and Chad talking business:
Teaching Maddie how to clean a frog:
Spencer (aka Spency or Pency)
Investigating Frog Eggs
Everything is cute in baby form. Everything except for cockroaches, that is.
Buncha Balloons! Do they really work?
Oh, no! The cooler is leaking!
"It's such a beautiful day to..."
"Attack!!!"
Did somebody say war?
Can she make it away from him in time?
Missed!
Sophie is having so much fun until...
Terror strikes!
The balloons were very difficult to break, so essentially, you had to throw them really hard in order for them to break. Suffice it to say, everyone was terrified of Brock.
Run, Ella, run!
Into the garage she went. All the while, Brock waited patiently for her exit.
Apparently, he wasn't patient enough.
Hiyah! Ninja kick!
She successfully escaped the balloon of pain.
We need more balloons!
Be afraid. Be very afraid.
She went after Brock with this balloon and missed.
Revenge
It got to the point where it was easier to squish the water balloons over the victim's head to ensure they would get wet.
Little did Sophie know that when she got Ella wet...
She would be pelted seconds later.
Ella still wasn't satisfied, so...
Ella was feeling pretty good, but unbeknownst to her, someone was lurking behind her.
Not just one balloon...
but two! And it wouldn't break!
Dad had found a balloon and twisted it to the point of popping. He was saving it for someone special.
Brock was the lucky target.
Uh oh.
When water balloons fail you, you use the next best thing.
Sophie began to feel targeted. No matter where she went, she couldn't escape the constant terror of permeating pain.
Everyone was out to get her.
And they would NOT stop.
Sophie...
SNAPPED!
Unpoppable Red Balloon
Notice how Brock's frustration grows.
Finally!
So mad because of the red balloon!!!
Mini Rampage
Dad had a plan.
Strategizing with Daddy
Boomer was happy to be out of the action.
One last balloon. Hmm...
Baby Balloon
