Summer Nights

Labor Day weekend was full of fun! Trip up to Park City for the outlets and to walk the art galleries on Main Street, lots of work at home, but then we had a bunch of my cousins, my brother and their significant others. We made pizza on the grill (which some of my cousins found really weird, but everyone agreed that it was yummy), then broke out the volleyball net to play water balloon volleyball.

Play what, you ask? Water balloon volleyball! You play as partners, hold the corners of a dish towel, then use the towel to throw water balloons. It was a lot of fun, luckily we didn't get too wet. It was dark when we were done with dinner, so Brian grabbed our flood light and we enjoyed the cooler weather!

Here's one side of the game...

Team Chris-Karianne-Chance-Ben-Brian-Mark (B and I switched in and out). Ben and Chance had some serious range on their throws!

...and the other side

Here's the other team, Team Nic-Suzi-Nicole-Kylee. Nic thought he was going to have the best move of the game--he caught one way off to the side in his hat. But then the tree behind Nicole and Kylee caught a balloon without breaking it so we decided the tree won that contest. We had lots of fun, went through an entire bag of balloons and had my favorite citrus ice cream. 

Pretty good way to spend the last 'official' weekend of summer! Now to think of what to do for the next cousin date night...
