A Shameless Plug and a Very Happy Boy


Hi everyone!  Hope you're doing great.
So, today J and I attended the Variety Club Boat for Hope. Volunteers gave their time and use of their boats to ferry kids around our neighboring city's inner harbour.  There were "pirates" handing out "loot" to each of the kids, random skiffs bombarding us with water balloons, misting hoses, and other fun stuff!  J was soaked, and giggling hysterically almost the whole time, even when a few water balloons hit him head on.  He had so much fun, and by the time we got back to land, we were drenched.

After that, there was a free barbecue, with hot dogs, chips and drinks.  The "pirates" played music, helped the kids build wooden boats, and maintained a bouncy castle.  There was also popcorn and sno-cones.it was a really well put together event, and everyone had a blast.  We even got to meet up with a friend and her family, which was great!  By the time we met back up with Daddy's mom, J was done.  He hasn't stopped talking about it since we got home.  Thanks, Variety.  You've made one four-year-old boy very happy.
Have a great day!
