Water fight

This afternoon we had reached that point where Josh had been bottled up too long. Rose has been running a temperature and full of a cold so we haven't been out the last couple of days and certainly not swimming - that great energy user! We did all go shopping this morning which just about wiped Rose out but I think she and Josh were cabin crazy so I decided to take them all with me. Anyway, I wanted to sit outside and read my paper while the kids played in the tub with water but Josh wanted to spray the girls and neither was very interested so I decided I had to engage him. I took a squirter and set up a water bowl for him at the back and I had the front and we had so much fun. He started to understand how to use tactics too which made it even more fun and it was so hot it was a relief to cool off. If I had been determined to be selfish I could have missed out on a lot of fun and a good bonding experience with my son.
