Ward Picnic

Trudy was over the ward day activities. We met at the park with the other ward and the Bishoprics did the cooking of hamburgers and hot dogs. The rest of the meal was pot luck.
As you will see they put the right person in charge because Trudy has some neat ideas. I thought it went a lot better than the year before. Actually I think Trudy is the activities chairperson of the ward.

Dad and I left early, but they were starting to play softball, and they had played basketball and etc.


Baxter pretty wet from filling up balloons and just having fun with the hose.








Ceci filling up water balloons .




Gramps just relaxing












The sponge contest, to see which team could fill their sponges pass them over their heads and then the last person in line squeeze what was left in the sponge to empty an pail.





Then the teams had to turn around and pass the empty sponge back to the person in front of the line to refill the sponge and pass it over head back.



































Stevie's team won. They filled the empty bucket up first after passing the sponge to everyone on their team.





Trudy and Steve lined the kids up with pardners so they could throw the water balloons to each other. Sounds fun but what happened is the kids would rather have a water fight.




























You can see that the water balloon catch turned into a water war. The kids loved it.













After the water fight then Trudy started handed out bubbles. It was a great hit with all ages of kids. The breeze was just right and there were bubbles all over. I wasn't going to go but I'm glad I did. I had a great time and the food was great.!!!!!!

Sounds fun grandma! I used to love doing that kind of stuff! I bet I still would if I had the chance.

Looks like everyone is having a good time. I like the getting wet part, it is so much more fun for the kids if they can get wet:)
