Friday afternoon and some friends.

If boys have the following items they will have hours of entertainment; a hose, buckets, and little brothers/slow runners for easy targets.

I guess it my upbringing in a large family but the more the merrier I say. Today we had seven extra kiddos running around (everywhere but inside!). And I just love it, they ran around like a bunch of crazed little people. Got the attention of the 'older boys' next door whom joined in on the fun by dumping and spraying water on them through the fence at first and then just an all out water fight in the end.

Nobody is immune to the power of fun a hose can provide on a Texas afternoon.

Once they tired of the hose they brought our street toys to go down the 'mountain' in our backyard.

It takes a couple of muscular men to get them up aforementioned mountain. Owen, Harrison, John Michael, brought up Jack and Bryce.

You can't tell in this photo but Owen and Harrison are convincing Jack and Bryce that it's safe and they should be the ones to test it out. No picture of what happened next but just use your imagination.

While they played their hearts out, their mothers and I hung out and would occasionally tell children to, "turn around and go back outside and work it out yourselves."
