Combine 17 kids, 12 cans of shaving cream

one large, inflatable football and a summer day. Mix well and sit back and watch the fun begin. Yesterday was one of the days the kids look forward to the most during the year. A party at Mr. Matt's --their Wednesday night youth leader is always a highlight. Besides football, there are other cool games - such as water baloon volleyball, and having contests conducted in pools of sludgy oatmeal. Matt's wife, Dianne, grills them a delicious lunch, hoses everyone off and then they go swimming. It's an all day event that they talk about until the next time. Matt and Dianne love kids and I've never met one that didn't love them right back.
