The Dunk Tank

Hudson has had a fascination with playing dunk tank this summer.  Not sure how it started - one day he asked me if I remembered when he threw the ball at the thing and the boy fell in the water.  He was talking about Sterling's homecoming last October!  It's crazy the stuff he remembers.  Well, he really wanted to play dunk tank so we made up our own dunk tank in the bathtub.  He'd stand up and I'd throw the ball at the tub.  When it hit the back wall, he'd "dunk" down in the water.  Mostly just made a big mess, but he loved playing it.  Then when we went swimming at big Jacob's house they had a diving board so he was able to play another version of dunk tank there. 

Last Sunday at church they announced that it was the last day of FX and for the last day they were having a carnival - with a dunk tank!  Hudson heard that and it was all he talked about all afternoon.  So I took him to the carnival, even though it was 105 degrees out. 

When we got there no one was on the dunk tank yet and there weren't many kids around yet so I got up on there thinking I'd let Hudson give it a try - not sure he could even actually hit the target and knock me in.  Was I wrong!  He figured it out pretty quick and had a great time dunking me.  Then all the other kids lined up - and I figured since I was already wet it didn't really matter. So I ended up sitting there for awhile and got dunked quite a few times.  But it was kind of nice since it was so hot out!  

And since it was a carnival, I even let him eat a hot dog, a sno cone and cotton candy.  What a day for him!
