Balloon Sinking

The kids creatively and accidentally created a new game. I named it Balloon Sinking! We had some balloons from Spencer's birthday party (post still to come!) While Todd and I were at a baptism, the balloons got loose (hmmmm) and floated up to the sky light. The kids wanted to get the balloons down, but they didn't know how. Kyle came up with this awesome idea. They got Nerf guns and used the darts with suction cups on the tips. They shot at the balloons until the darts would stick. When there were enough darts on the balloons to give it enough weight, the balloons sink to the ground. Brilliant!

Now it is a game. Of course, you just take the darts off and let the balloons rise. Then start shooting again. Try it. It is a blast and your kids will think you are awesome! But I am not responsible for any Nerf darts that stick to your windows or walls. We didn't have any, to my great surprise. I am also not responsible for the cleaning that may happen after you play this game. After looking upward to the skylights and tall ceilings, you notice cobwebs and dust you didn't see before. Sorry.

This is a super cheap game. Just a few helium balloons and a Nerf gun or two. A balloon that has 'flat' sides would probably work best. Let me know if you enjoy the game.
