My SIL and niece got to our house LATE on Saturday night. I have no idea what time as I went to bed when Leon did. Robb stayed up for them.
On Sunday, after church, my nephew and his girlfriend came for dinner also. Afterwards, Cathy pulled out two huge bags of beautiful apples. They could have easily pulled them off our tree, but oh well.
So she has two huge bags of beautiful apples and asked if we had a bat. Yep. If you remember the movie Cheaper by the Dozen, they played Apple Smear and hit apples across the yard with a bat. THAT'S what she had in mind...
The kids set up on my lower deck which did NOT get fixed up in time for the graduation party and needs repairs all over the place. Yep, Josh took his girlfriend there... She didn't say anything about it, so I think she's a keeper!
They hit apples off the deck and fruity bits flew!
Leon took a turn and then hit a questionable deck railing, making a good crack sound.
Yeah... EVERYONE move down to the grass please!!
They did. And played ball apple!
Leon hit his so far once that in his excitement, he pulled his pants down. REALLY?!?!??!? I'm so glad I was inside and didn't see that...
Cathy was telling us about it and said that he showed his ######. Leon corrected her and used the correct term for it. "hello?... It's called a #####."
It was drizzling and they got pretty drenched. I'm thinking this is a new tradition now.
Meri missed out as she had children's theater practice, but saw what they had done out there and is looking forward to next years festivities.
Apples beware!!

Come here in early September. The town near me has a tomato fight with actual tomatoes....I think you'd enjoy that, or at least Leon would. lolz
Very funny. I think I'd skip Sluggy's tomato game.
Not my cup of tea, but it looks like they had fun. There's a church near us, which, while it doesn't believe in Halloween, hosts what they call "Pumpkin Wars," where the kids literally HURL what they have hollowed out of pumpkins when making jack-o-lanterns at one another. I think it's horrible...I'm not a fan of gratuitous destruction which borders on the violent, so I never allowed my kids to attend, but it sounds like something your crew might like!
What a hoot! And they actually bought the apples :) You guys have the best traditions!
