Water Balloon Question

Are we going to have games that don't use water balloons, too? I don't know that it matters--but it might--but water balloons are latex-y, and Joey and Aaron are on a latex precaution, aren't they?

It probably doesn't matter, but I thought I'd throw it out there.

A fun game can be when you get a big piece of plywood, and you cut a hole in it at head-height, and you get a giant sponge really wet--and you try to throw the sponge at Uncle Leland, (or Steve, or Mema standing on a box hee-hee) who is standing behind the plywood with his head through the hole. Sort of like throwing pies at someone, only without the pie.

Another game could be a relay race--each person has to balance a water balloon on a spoon across the lawn (or some such) without dropping it. When they get to the end, they have to sit on the balloon to break it before running back to tag the next person.

I love the duck duck splash game, too. I think Ezra would love it and Mercy would scream and run around excitedly without getting the point, but have a marvelous time.
