So...we brought these amazing water balloons to Virginia Beach:
They were voted by the Australian Toy Association to be the "Toy of the Year 2016". So, obviously, we weren't messin' around:
But we forgot to tell everyone about the Balloon Toss at breakfast. Oops. So here are Kathy and Christ huddled together, trying to contact people to come. It was kind of chilly for water balloons, but we were determined.
But many EXers had gone down to the concert on the beach. So we decided to rely on a paraphrased version of the quote from "Fields of Dreams": "If we throw, they will come". So we started off with a sisterly contest between Chris and Kathy:

Next, a contest between Sky and Chris:

As hoped, other EXers showed up soon. Here, Chris takes a balloon to the face!

Pops catches one!

Pops does NOT catch one...

Here's Donna helping us pick up all the broken balloons:
Ellen was smart; she stayed on her balcony and watched us all get wet!
Here's a great shot of jojo helping to clean up!
