Mom/Son Nerf War

5-20-16

Mom/Son Nerf War!!!  We bought this event at the PTA Auction, and we have been anxiously awaiting the date.  We brought our best Nerf guns and a million darts and all of our excitement.  (Beau got to join in too.)  We were on the blue team, hence the blue headbands/bow (really, when is the last time I wore a bow?!?!)  Game faces on!

There were several stations to practice on that the boys loved.  Firing darts at each other was a favorite for sure.

We played a few rounds of Capture the Flag of blue team vs. red team, and those were fun.  Moms and boys against Moms and boys.  These guys looked serious!! 

We changed it up for the last round of Capture the Flag and made it Moms vs. boys.  It was a hard fought battle, and there were some personal attacks along the way.  One of my kids shot me to take me out, Ms. Erin shot one of them back in return, we all got rescued and rebounded . . . AND THE MOMS WON!!!!!  We didn't gloat (much), but then we had to go back to Mom-mode because there were a few tears from the losing group.   

Luckily, plenty of pizza and juice boxes were ready to ease the pain from the loss.  Everyone had a blast, and we are signing up for this party at next year's auction.
