Run for your lives...it's the attack of the FOAM!!!

So Melanie invited us to this event in Lehi...something about firetrucks and foam and bring swim trunks and goggles (or as Roman would say, gobbles). We didn't know what to expect but did as we were told.

Apparently, for the second year in a row, the Lehi Fire Department covers a football field with foam from their trucks. Am I the only one who thought just water came from those hoses?! It looked like huge soap bubbles, but thicker...like...well, foam. And it was obviously the "thing" to do that day. Look at the crowds!

I didn't get to stay, I had to go to work, but Melanie took some awesome pictures for me.

Here are the brave boys, pre-foam: Hayden, Taylor, and Roman.

New game...find the Lafranca boys. Hint: you sort of have to look for their swim trunks. Seriously, kids could get lost in this stuff!

Taylor looks like the guilty party (aka smashing foam in Hayden's face) but I'm pretty sure he's trying to get the foam AWAY from Hayden's face, windshield wiper style on the goggles. So glad we dropped by Walmart and got those, the boys would've been blind.


The boys post-foam: Taylor, Roman, and Hayden...at least, I think that's them!
All cleaned up! Why didn't they do fun things like that when I was little?!
Thanks to Melanie and Nana for watching the kids while I went to work...and thanks to Natalie for staying home so Aubrey could nap! Oh...and thanks to Taylor for keeping track of my boys mid-foam!

How FUN!! Super jealous they don't do that here at all. I didn't know foam came out of their hoses either. Was it like soap? Anyway, they looked like they had sooo much fun!

That is beyond awesome! I don't care how old I am I would so be in the middle of that if we had something like that around here! I am sure the boys will remember this one for years! Way to go Mom!

OMGosh that looks like so much fun! I would've skipped work if I were you and joined in! And you aren't the only one who thought water came out :)

What the what? I had no idea foam came out of those hoses?! I feel like I got totally jipped in my childhood not getting to do fun things like this.

I bet your boys thought this was the greatest things EVER!
