Summer Fun in the Fall

To kick off the first official day of the

Watching the water fun with Kameron and Lily Ray

Fall, the Hopper's decided to celebrate with a water balloon fight with their next door neighbors, The Belters.  The water balloons did not last long as countless were popped before they had gotten launched.  Mrs. Hopper tripped on the walk over to the Belters causing all but 5 balloons to fall out of the bucket and pop.  After watching Kase pelt his buddy, Will in the face with a balloon from close range, I thought it was probably a good thing that the water balloon supply was small.



A bath finally!!!

After the injuries were assessed and friendships were mended, we moved onto a much safer activity, the sprinkler!  I started off hanging out with the "girls" as they watched their brother's run back and forth through the sprinkler, giggling with as if each pass was their first time.  Finally, Kase, realizing that the girls were starting to think of me as a chew toy versus a real boy, grabbed me and decided to take me for a rinse through the sprinkler.  I call it a rinse because I have not had a bath since I arrived in Alabama.  As much as I have avoided water since my journey through the Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico, I was happy to wash away Kameron's baby slobber that was starting to crust up on my swim shirt.
