91原创 City resident Matt Humphrey brought his family and some friends to the annual Legendary Water Fight at Al Anderson pool on Saturday, July 13.
"It's our first water fight," Humphrey explained.
"We missed last year. We weren't able to make it in, [because] the tickets were sold out So we made sure we bought ours early this year, so we were able to make it in."
"My kids live in this pool," he added. "They absolutely love this pool, they鈥檙e here seven days a week."

It was perfect weather for the annual battle between 91原创 City Fire Rescue crews and outdoor pool patrons, with Environment Canda reporting a high of 28.8 degrees and no precipitation.
More than 200 people booked tickets for the event, close to a sell-out, said pool supervisor Natalie Hagyard.
"It's a super big event and the weather's great," Hagyard said.
This year's theme was the Minions, after characters in the popular "Despicable Me" series of films, with pool staff dressing up in bright yellow to embrace the theme.
After about an hour of games, and preliminary water duels between pool patrons wielding super soaker guns and pails of water, or just splashing away by hand, a small crew of firefighters arrived and hooked up multiple low-pressure hoses for a damp battle with cheering kids, and a few adults.
