Nerf Gun War!

Yesterday my kids were invited to a "Nerf Gun War" with a bunch of their friends. My friend Rikki hosted it and I helped by making the invitation for it...

My kids were so excited to go because they got new Nerf guns for Christmas that they wanted to use. These are all the Nerf warriors that came out to battle against each other...

These two look especially dangerous!

Poor Jantzen looks a little scared here, not sure why.

Jaedyn didn't want to feel left out, so she joined Jaron and Jantzen for some pre-battle poses. The boys were nice and brought her a gun to fight with too. I love how she was trying so hard to pose just like them. She loves her big brothers so much!

All the kids were separated into two teams and got their yellow and black headbands put on. Then they headed over to the battlefield...

The kids were all given the rules and then the war began!

Jaron ended up using some Nerf swords halfway through the war and now he wants some of his own.

I love how Jantzen did a lot of scouting out the enemies from behind the bushes. He likes the "sneak attack" approach...

I just have to laugh at the way Jantzen poses with his gun. It's like he's trying to do the splits or something and he always has a serious look on his face...he's so funny!

Jaedyn took some time out of fighting to hang out with her BF, Casen. This is what she has to say about him, "My Casen's a sweetie"...so cute!

Jaedyn did do a little fighting with the rest of the kids. Her favorite thing was to chase Jantzen and pretend to shoot him.

After the war was over, these tired warriors headed back to the base for some food to replenish their energy.

They got to enjoy some pizza, soda, and chocolate cupcakes. Jaedyn's favorite part was the frosting off the cupcakes...

Jaedyn got really excited when Stella came and that's who she played with the rest of the time we were there. As you can see, they had fun just playing in the rocks.

Sometimes it's hard to think of fun things to do with my kids over the winter break, but I thought this was such a fun idea for a party. My kids had such a fun time battling with their friends and the weather was perfect. Thanks Rikki for entertaining my kids!
