We did a last-day-of-school water balloon party on May 25 with lots of friends from our ward (even though Connor isn't in school yet, a bunch of his friends that we meet at the park every week are).

| After all the kids threw water balloons, we had a "pick up party" and made a contest of who could pick up the most balloon pieces. The top 3 winners got $1 and everyone else got a quarter or 2. Best idea ever. |

| Look at the piles of balloon pieces! |
We invited our friends across the street (Stacey, Lincoln, Jackson, and Teyla) over a several times to throw water balloons with us.
I also did a really fun activity with my Young Women. We did a service scavenger hunt. Each task on the list I gave them was assigned a point value from 1-5 points (easier tasks like washing a window or taking out the trash were 1 point, harder tasks like scrubbing a toilet or vacuuming a room were 5 points), and the girls had to go to ward members' houses that were in need of service. There were 12 Beehives, I challenged them to get 75 points total and if they did there were 500 water balloons waiting for them at my house that I filled earlier that day. The girls did awesome and earned 92 points! The girls had a blast and were really nice to let Connor throw balloons with them. I love summer! (If any of you serve in YW and want my service list, let me know, I'll send it to you.)
