Another Day at Tijmen's

Tijmen and Yann walking to Rite Aid.Today I went over to Tijmen's house for the last time in a while, since he is going on road trips and camps for most of the summer. I walked over to his house around 9:30 and we played MarioKart Wii for about an hour until Oliver arrived. For the morning, we did video games, mainly SSB Brawl, and drew with chalk. He got this really cool chalk (and "chalk-paint") that appears 3D when you put on glasses. Much to the annoyance of Oliver, I drew a giant wall-eyed weirdo.

Around noon, we finally got in touch with Yann and he came over soon afterward. We tried to have a water balloon fight, but there were hardly any water balloons. Tijmen got the idea to walk over to Rite Aid and get some balloons, so we walked over and also got ice cream at the stand in the back of the store. After we got back, we had a really awesome water balloon war for most of 2 hours in his front yard. Many times, Tijmen would get on the roof and bombard an unsuspecting Oliver below. As well as using regular water balloons (styled to look like grenades) we would fill up normal balloons so they could hold what seemed like a gallon of water. When we ran out of balloons, we switched over to sprinklers, watering cans, and just about anything else that could hold water. I left and walked home around 5:30 and was home by six.
