Have you ever surprised your friends with a water balloon fight? I got this idea from my brother. To do this, just fill up enough water balloons for both “teams” (the more you fill, the longer the fight.) Separate the filled balloons into two boxes. Save one for yourself, and deposit the other on your friend’s front porch with a fun sign that explains what’s happening. Then, ring the doorbell and hide. Wait for your friend to answer the doorbell and read your sign before launching the first balloon!

We had lots of these as a kid…only my cousins usually “forgot” to tell me about them until I rounded the corner in the back yard and…. SPLOOSH! 😀

What a fun idea! And colourful too 🙂 Perfect for a hot day, the likes of which may just have passed us by for the year by now. The sky is winning the water fight over this side of the pond right now. This idea is going in my Pinterest Al fresco board 😛

At my old job, I always stressed that people should participate in Spirit Week. This past year, I told them that they could throw water balloons at me if they participated, as a way to get me back. It was awesome.

This is all kinds of awesome! I hope we get another sunny warm day so I can do this!
