Father / Daughter Water Games

BBQ + water + dads + girls = too much fun to handle!!!



We started off the evening with hamburgers and goofing off (I had one dad in a tree...sent photographic evidence to his wife). Then the real fun began.

We had three events:

First:
Super Soaker Fill Up
Each father/daughter team is given a large water gun and a cup. They each stand about 8 feet apart and they have 30 seconds to shoot as much water into the cups as possible. Since the giant water guns were pretty heavy when full, the dads shot while the girls tried to catch the water in their cups.

Second:
Water Ball Toss
I found some balls that soak up water really well. Fathers and daughters were spaced about 12 feet apart. The girls had to toss the balls while the dads caught them in a net. First team to catch 8 balls wins.

Third:
Water Cup Relay
Split into two teams. One team member at a time fills up their cups then, while holding the cup on their head, run to the other end of the course (about 20 feet away) and pour the water into a bucket (cup remaining on their head the whole time) then run back to their team. First team to fill their bucket wins.

We ended the evening with ice cream sundaes and continued water ruckus. SO MUCH FUN!

Flower Headbands

I had several design options for the girls but all gravitated toward this one...

We kept it simple, just a few different colors and patterns of ribbon and a few different colored headbands.

Simple...easy...done!
