Balloon Challenge

I had a hard time talking the boys out of doing water balloons tonight... it was already getting dark and cold. So, I pulled out the regular balloons and that satisfied them.
I also found our balloon rackets that we made months ago, but I thought were worthy of showing again.
It is a heavy paper plate with a paint stir stick taped to the back. More simple, practically free fun.
This time I asked Westley how many times he could hit the ball in the air without it falling on the ground.
A few months ago I don't even think he could have done more than what would be by chance, but tonight he had one round go where he hit it up 17 times in a row!
