Swimming and a picnic at the lake

When is the best time to go to the lake? On a Sunday evening of a long holiday weekend when everyone is leaving... We packed up the kids and swim gear and food and drinks and had a great time. There was no one else around the beach, everyone else had gone home. The children jumped in the lake with supervision from Matt and Joey. Guess what happened? A water fight broke out in the lake. It seems when Matt and Garrett get around water, they just can't avoid a water fight.
