House Guests and a Water Fight?

Our friends, the McWhites, are visiting for a few days while Bryan and Vince take some much needed R&R backpacking through Glacier National Park (if you call backpacking, hiking 12+ miles in a day, avoiding grizzly bears and black bears, setting up camp every night and tearing it down every morning R&R). Owen Stanley William McWhite (aka Owen, O-diddy, Obed or Ezra - depending on which parent is trying to get his attention and how distracted said parent is) and Obed have been having fun crawling around. Their favorite thing is to watch the other one eat. Obed just laughs as Owen eats... not sure why as you have seen the mess that Obed becomes when he eats, whereas Owen is quite a tidy eater.
Since there are two babies needing rest time in the house during the day, we have been playing outside when the big boys get up from their rest. Yesterday, we had a water "fight." The word fight is rather questionable, however, because my understanding of a fight is that there need to be two individuals sparring back and forth to create the fight. Ezra most certainly got the whole idea of the water fight, and doused Asher time and again with buckets full of water.
Asher, on the other hand, didn't really get the concept. You may be wondering why there is a picture of water flying through the air in front of the tomato plants. Well, that was where Asher typically threw his water. I kept telling him to throw his water at Ezra... so he'd throw his cup of water... on the sidewalk... in front of the garden... no where near Ezra. Needless to say, Asher was soaked after the water fight; Ezra, totally dry. Even I got doused when Ezra accidentally threw his bucket of water directly at me, trying to aim for the running Asher. Fun times indeed.
