Avast, ye mayteys!!

The boys are into this thing they call "The War Wagon." They've also got the neighbor boy across the street involved, I'm sure much to the dismay of his parents. They load up the wagon with wiffle ball bats, plastic toy rakes and hoes, a water gun (empty), and start at the top of the driveway. Three are inside the wagon, the fourth, the "pusher" is at the back, pushing them down the driveway and jumps in, sort of like the 4-man bobsled. Only instead of all 4 of them ducking and driving as fast as they can, they all scream, brandishing their weapons, flying across the court until they arrive on the other side. The dogs in our area love this, too, and are chasing along after them, while the boys all yell "Aaarrrrrgghhhh!" waving and shouting. They don't actually fight anything, or each other. They simply repeat the process over and over. It's riot to watch. And, it's funny when a neighbor girl comes out--she is frequently chased away by the masculine screams. I love my boys.
