Filling water balloons, this near daily task never gets easier as each Summer arrives. It’s such a tedious task for such a short time period of fun. I do it every year though, just to seek smiles and laughter from my children. A pile of empty water balloons are set on the counter, this sets the limit on how many I will fill with water, tie and place into a mop bucket. I filled this amount of water balloons, two times.
