Day at the Races

Today we participated in the Raingutter Regatta with the Boy Scouts. Ben missed it last year since he was out of town so this was all new to him. He helped the boys build their boats this week and they were all ready.

Benny showing off his boat "Harry Potter's Fast Boat". Guess what he's been reading.

Andy showing off his boat "Party Rock" AND his water bottle.

The racing course. They went with the inflatable course this year to accommodate the wider catamarans.

Once everyone was registered we enjoyed a gourmet lunch which consisted of....

Hamburgers and Hot Dogs...

and Andy's favorite: OREOS. They had chips and other cookies too.

Let the Races begin!!!!

Andy ended up being the only Tiger there so Mr. M. raced against him.

Of course Andy went easy on him.

Ready to Race.

Ben and Dan had to race against their fellow Wolves.

Practice round. A little brotherly competition.

The FINAL battle for 3rd place.

Ellie was bored the WHOLE time! She brought her book to read but that lasted all of about 15minutes. 

The rest of the time she just complained. Typical Ellie.

She found my Playbook once she was bored with reading.

Time for the Awards

Andy got 1st Place for the Tigers.

Benny got 3rd Place for the Wolves.

Danny got a medal for "Most Futuristic" boat.
