Today's Agenda:
1. Water Relay Race
2. Watermelon Eating Contest
First up was the Relay Race. Since we only had three kids participating, we couldn't actually have teams so therefore it was actually a "relay" but more of just a full out Every Kid For Themselves deathmatch.
But a "relay" sounds more official. And less intimidating than "deathmatch."
The game is stupid simple to set up. Get a big bucket. I used a 30 gallon bucket that we store our pool/beach toys in. Fill up big bucket with water and put on one side of the yard. Next, Get some smaller buckets (we used beach buckets), one for each participant, of the same size. Put them (empty) on the other side of the yard, the further away the more challenging/exhausting/fun. Next, take a plastic cup (one for each participant). Use a knife and poke two or three holes in the bottom of said cup. Did I mention these cups probably shouldn't be important?
Now you're ready to play. The kids each take a cup and go to the start line, which is the large bucket full of water. When the whistle (or loud mouthed Mom yells "GO"), the kids dunk their cups in the water, put the leaking cup over their heads, and RUN to their respective small bucket across the yard and dump their water (or what's left of it) into their buckets. Run back to the large bucket, rinse and repeat. Literally. The first kid to fill their bucket wins. Their facial expressions are the best as the water drips down their face. It's tragically funny. For the moms anyway.
Next was a tragically unoriginal watermelon eating contest. But you know nothing says summer like putting your hands behind your back and shoving your face into a slice of watermelon the size of your head. This was also the first event that Camden
