If you are going to have kids and water mixed together you need to know two things for summer vacation fun:

1. Never let kids in or near water without an adult in attendance. Remember, no matter the age or gender, Kids plus pool/pond/lake/river equals a wet kid.

2. Make sure you have towels ready to dry them off with, and have water weapons ready to hand for water related kid-fun and adult self defense.

Start with a visit to a web site dedicated to DIY water weapons. Hey, you always wanted to know how to build your own water balloon shotgun, right?

What about a head-mounbted water cannon or other "get-'em-wet" toys?
