Greased Watermelon
Add to Daddio CalendarLather up that big boy with margarine, shortening, or Vaseline and toss it in the pool (it floats). Teams compete to get the slippery sucker to their side of the pool. After the fun you’ve got two options: 1) eat it, or 2) have the kids put a few hundred rubber bands around it until it ruptures open in a goopy mess that might just lead to a food fight…
DADDIO TIP: Be sure the kids get any oil off them and throw on an extra cote of sunscreen before heading back into the sun.
