SILLY STRING FIGHT

No one truly knew how much fun this activity would entail. WE all gathered in a tight circle and took 3 small steps out and on the count of THREE we turned and BLASTED!


Good luck getting that out of your hair

Check out Mr. Incredible and all his PROUDNESS with TWO cans

RIGHT to the eye! so glad I was wearing glasses

Looks like Beauty got Warrior

Oh isn't she nice, Let me help you with that.

Father and Son going at it! Mr. Incredible has Warrior on the run.

Looks like Bill faired well

Mr. Incredible is relentless, who will his next victim be??

Sweetheart!!! Oh no, a double spray to the Head!!

Along with our Easter EGG HUNT We decided to add to our Easter Tradition a SILLY STRING FIGHT! It was so much fun that the children have all asked to add this tradition to EVERY HOLIDAY We do. I am still thinking about that one. I was reading about Easter traditions and celebrations and came across one who shared about having a silly string fight one Easter. Their mom had died or something shortly after, and they never had a string fight again but it was one of her fondest memories. I thought we would try it this year and I am so glad we did! The neighborhood rang with the shrills and squeals of my family enjoying one another.
Each of us had 2 cans and we went at it! It was A TON OF FUN!!!! Please try this or incorporate it into your holiday as a tradition! Look at all the great pictures. Can you feel the excitement??? I continue to build memories for my children. I hope they remember me and carry them on in their own families. Time is so short, these days.

I am loving this post. I think it is way too coincidental that my family did this exact same thing for Easter about 5 years ago....we had a blast also..it is the best to see grown men get so into it.

Thanks for the reminder, I am definitely going to have to add this in as a permanent tradition.

Good work to you!

How fun. My family would love this. I am going to have to think of a good time to introduce this fun idea to the family.

How hard was it to get out of your hair and clothes?

It wasn't hard at all. Just brush through once and it is out and you just wait for it to dry and it falls right off of your clothes. You guys should try it!
