My in-laws left my nephews with me while they went out to dinner with some other family that lives in the area.

I knew if I was going to have all four boys I wanted to give them an outlet for all of their energy!

Water balloons are amazing.

When they are made by someone else…

None of the boys could tie them so I had to tie them all.

My fingers hurt so we did them in two batches.

They did not seem to mind.

Personalities come out in a battle like this.

My youngest nephew preferred to run away the whole time, even if it meant he got less balloons.

I am with him, I run also.

My youngest tried to make it easier for him by holding his brother down.

I love this kid.

The other boys were just as happy to be hit by a balloon as to throw one.

Guess who ended up with the last balloon?

He was pretty happy.

I wanted to stay outside longer but since it was so hot out we had to play in water.

This one wanted to know why I take pictures all the time.

I do it so much that I forget that it seems odd to some people.

You know that crazy Aunt that people talk about that will not stop taking pictures at holidays and gatherings?

I have become her…

I am okay with that though.

I treasure these images.

I think I will continue on with being the “crazy Aunt”.

It makes me happy.
