First thing that happened, we accidentally upset some kids that were already trying to do it, downstream of us as we cut off their water so they started again upstream but with the intention of destroying our dam by building up a big load of water in theirs then trying to wash ours away.
This went on for a couple of hours in which they tried all sorts of sneaky things, like digging channels round to divert water at the side of the dam which caused an argument about cheating.
This is when I noticed that because the stream had been dammed for hours, people had taken root on the now dry bit of beach that was the flood plain...

deck chairs, beach tents, people sleeping on towels galore!

This is where we reached an agreement to work WITH the kids for a little while, before collapsing the center of both dams sending a massive wash of water down the beach!

Am I mean? Is it wrong to find soaking loads of people funny? And if so does that make all families pissing themselves laughing evil?
