I don't know how to explain this ...but I will try. My son, who is 27 years old, is a tinkerer. He tinkered around with several components and came up with a potato gun that will shoot a long, longs ways. As he is shooting the potato he thinks it would be fun to try putting water into the gun and shoot that. I'll attempt to tell you what the components are.....p
vc pipe, glue, pressure valves, duct tape, and a air compressor. How does it work? You turn on the air compressor to build up pressure, wait until it reaches a certain percentage of pressure by watching the gage, aim...release the valve and shoot!
Andra is holding the gun, that looks like a machine gun, and points at
Derin. He kind of chickens outs by turning sideways so he doesn't get the pressure of the water straight on.
Mom, on the other hand takes the pressure full on!
Ok, I may be standing a bit further away. :)
Jim just stands there and gets soaked!
Derin looks a little intense while aiming at his dad. I know what you are thinking! Weird family! Yep! :))
That's me on the porch watching.

Fabulous. Your son and my son Dan could get along...he's made something very similar!
Hi again Flower,
Our son Dan is 27, too. :0)
Sorry I've been out of the blog loop the past few months-- will try to be better about reading and commenting! :o)
Looks like a fun afternoon-- Derin's very creative in his tinkering!
Looks like that would be so much fun on a hot summer day! I like how everyone took a turn at not only shooting the gun but getting soaked by the water too.
Hugs,
Joanne
P.S. I'm going to give a lesson on how to make gumpaste flowers in a week or so. So, come back and learn how to make your own. It's not hard at all.
That looks like a refreshingly cool activity on a hot summer day!
OMG! That does look like fun...and keeps ya cool! ;o) Happy weekend to you all, Flower! ((HUGS))
Hello there, is it Julene? For a long time I wanted to address you but not sure what is your name, sounds weird calling you flower :)
Certainly sounds fun to me and a very happy family too. Happy weekend :)
Hi Mom, so glad you enjoyed his newest creation. You were such a good sport, not many moms would let their kids do that! He had so much fun getting permission to actually shoot water at his parents. Perhaps this will encourage him to tinker up many more concoctions;-)
love andra
Hello Julene :P
Guess you must be super busy right..to answer your name, the M stands for Maryam..I write it as Mary for short, just like Kate is for Kathrine, but I've got a very long name and these two are just half of it...long story, if I have you email..I'll let you know :D
Will be a very busy week for me, I am off this Thursday to Kuching and back on Sunday. Happy cleaning up, can't wait to see the pics. hugs :)
