End of Baseball Party

We had the party tonight at Greenwood Park to mark the near end of the 2006 Parks & Rec Baseball season. It was combined with the tennis program and there was probably about 75 to 100 kids there with the coaches and parents and there were several games there like a carnival with a dunk tank (Aaron dunked his coaches three times, every time hitting the target on his third and final throw), a ring toss where Aaron won a two-liter bottle of Dr. Pepper, and a sack race. Aaron won a few prizes as did Daniel and they served hotdogs, chips, lemonade, and ice cream bars for the kids. It was pretty hot out even in the evening, so after the prizes were handed out, some of the kids and I gathered around the huge plastic tub they had used for a bobbing game and started splashing around with the water, eventually soaking Daniel in the process and what started with just water toys being thrown at each other along with an occasional water balloon turned into boys scooping out water in gallon ice cream buckets and drenching everyone around the tub. We finished off the day with a trip to the grocery store to pick up a couple copies of the local newspaper where Aaron's picture is in the county fair insert for his guinea pig win. Now I'm getting their uniforms washed before I hit the sack so they're ready for the last regular season games tomorrow.
