The Seven Days of Summer Special-Day 4

All Out War
Tube Wars.
Just hook up two tubes to the boat. Send out four people into the thick of things. With the wave of an orange flag those four people engage in all out war.
The point is to get someone from the other tube off before you or your partner are taken off first.
This year we had a picture perfect tube war with the help of some Mexican Masks. Not only were these tubes wars intense, but the masked people brought a sense of intimidation to the games.
It can get crazy out there on the water. People jumping from tube to tube, kicking, pushing, pulling, and all sorts of tactics are used. All I can say is that when the war is finished I come out of the water a little more sore than I was when I enter.
Although tube wars are probably the best, other options are available.
A speedy tube ride behind the jet ski can get pretty crazy and leave you soaked to the bone without even falling in the water.
Or a slow and steady tube ride is good for the less adventuresome.
We also have a short Banana. Whether you are doing a straight shot kind of a ride or going in large circles, this kind of ride can be one of the scariest rides you might take. You are bound to fall off and get wet. There is a stability issue that comes with the banana. But it is fun. Kids like it. Adults love it. So I guess everyone wins!
