A family war...

Outside, the world was peaceful and calm.

Cedar Rapids, Ia. Sources report a violent fight took place this morning as a family divided and turned on itself in what can only be described as a merciless Nerf war. Mothers grabbed children and uncles formed alliances with nieces and nephews while grandparents stood on the sidelines, watching in amazement as their family members attacked each other.

Uncle Jesse and Aunt Julie. (They started it.)
Eyewitnesses report that the skies were filled with Nerf arrows and foam balls, bouncing off the walls, floors and every now and then off a kid's head. When the troops were disarmed, the weapons filled a suitcase and a garbage bag.

But although the shooting, looting and hollering has ceased for now... this was merely battle number one.
Uncle Jonathan shot a defenseless Aunt Julie...
but Kaylin came to the rescue, supplying her with more ammo.

Uncle Jesse setting a violent example for his son.

Aunt Britt uniting the forces of the little ones,
even turning Renae against her parents, so they'd fight on her side.

Sammy hitched a ride with Uncle Jonathan to ride around collecting ammo.

Did I mention we watched "Robin Hood" last night?
