Since it is officially the first day of spring, I thought I would continue to spout praise for warm weather friendly items. Now, since yesterday we covered items to enhance your lazy summer days, today I thought I would go in a slightly different direction. I mean, you have to be at least a little active during the warmer months to take full advantage of the abundant sunshine, or else it would just be a waste. And what better way to work up a sweat, yet still have fun, than having a water fight? From here you can go one of two routes: water balloons or water guns. While water balloons can be fun, they don’t really have the distance factor on their side. Nope, for that you’re going to need to invest in a high quality water gun. Speaking of which…
Do you remember the pioneer in water guns? If so, then you’ll be super stoked about the Super Soaker 50 Water Blaster – 20th Anniversary Edition (Amazon, $34.00) because it’s designed in the same vein as the original you grew to love so many years ago. This water blaster has a 25oz water capacity and can shoot up to 35 feet, so you have ample ammunition and range with which to attack your enemies. Of course, it also features the trademark air-powered hand pump. But as a water gun fight veteran, that shouldn’t slow you down too much. What’s great about this gun is that it’s super easy to refill because all you have to do is unscrew the water barrel. Also, the gun is fairly lightweight so you can effortlessly run around, hide behind bushes, and plan your attacks. You know, the usual water gun fight stuff.
Seriously, who can think back on their days of youth without reminiscing about a Super Soaker water fight? I think it’s a statistical impossibility. I mean, you’d have to be from another planet not to remember Super Soakers. That, or you weren’t born until after 1991.
