Water Gun Fights Are Epic Win

 

Hey blogging loves! I had such a wonderful time at the National Water Gun Fight, and successfully managed to take a ton of photos! I even got two videos! So, without further ado, here is my recap, full of picture fun.

Here is a video of everyone saying hi. Please excuse my complete dorkiness. I was SO nervous. I’ve never said hi on the blog before… Haha.

Now, for the epic picture overload…

And here is another video for your viewing pleasure. <3 Lance being shot point blank with two cannons. And then me attacking him. :)

Basically, we had a blast. The funny thing is, we were only out there like an hour. Guess we are getting old. We were hot and dehydrated and hungry, lol. But still one of the most fun things I’ve done in a long time.

I also had a wonderful rest of the weekend with my boyfriend. It was a pretty great celebration of our anniversary. I’ll blog more on that later. Have a great Sunday night, y’all!!

Caught Red Handed

 

So, there is this event on Facebook that kind of went viral. On July 30, (Saturday!) there is supposed to be this huge nation-wide water gun fight.

Basically the premise is, you take a white t-shirt, write Team Red or Team Blue on it, (you’re not supposed to have a red or blue shirt) grab a water gun, and go about your day. If you run into anyone throughout the day sporting enemy colors, you attack.

Sounds lame, right?! PSSSSSSH. Me and my friends were all over it. I lucked out even more because Shane is going to be in town for our anniversary. What better way to spend it than shooting each other with water?

My bestie and the rest of our gang had already chosen sides when Shane and I decided to join in on the fun. Ellie was all alone on Team Red, while Lance and Mikey, and everyone else we know is Blue. Lance and Mikey have been ready for weeks.

After some serious negotiations That went something like this:

War

Sorry that’s so big. :) Anyways. We chose:

And we both have shirts with nicknames.

I would deny making such shirts…. But I was caught red-handed.

Should be an epic battle. But let’s be real. The person to be the most afraid of is my godbaby, Akemi. She’s a machine.

Akemi

Good luck on the battlefield, and may the best team (RED) win. (You’re so going down Lance.)
