Tanni

Tanni means water, and water goes hand in hand with fight.  WATER FIGHT!!!!!  We try and have a water fight every once and a while here and the kids get so excited!  They grab all their buckets and wait impatiently for the volunteers to some over.  One pair saw my camera and found pictures of water balloons on it... they freaked out and ambushed the group on the way over.  They lasted all of 2 seconds.

The girls started before everyone else by dumping water on everyone down below.

Starting the fight:

Fights last a long time so for the main part of it I put the camera away so it wouldn't be harmed.  I think the best part of the day is when one of the bigger boys Deepenraj was running full speed to get someone and I happened to have a full bucket.  That full bucket of water found its way right into his face and he veered on accident right into me.  Unfortunately for him I was firmly planted and he hit me and bounced about 10 feet back and landed on the sand.  We both had a hard time moving after that because it was so comedy.  Auntie can take a hit.

When the fight started to dwindle down I got the camera back out and started snapping.  Above is the refill area.  Basically the worst and best place to be.  You have no choice but to leave drenched by the end.

Anything can be used in the fight. Vinnarasen has a water bottle that is surprisingly powerful in a fight.

The last remaining fighters....

Here is Laura hanging out with her friends when little Varalakshmi come to sneak up on her...

Whoops!  Should have been paying attention....

Here it is happening again not even 2 min later.
