Water balloons As well as football and frisbees, partying at the rehearsal barbecue included water balloons and Scottish Country dancing (well, Strip the Willow). It was a great chance for Ned and Kats' friends from Macalister where they both studied and Boston where they now live, and families from out of town, to catch up and get to know each other. The water balloons took some filling - Sarah and I got very wet - but proved hilarious. What a competitive bunch!
