Raingutter Regatta We had a cubscout event a couple weeks ago and it was really fun. At the first June meeting, the scouts were given little wood boats to put together and decorate for this event. They raced them in raingutters. I wasn’t at all sure what this meant, but you can see from the picture that they blow on the sail and the first one to the end wins. It was a riot! They had brackets set up and if you lost, then you raced again in the losers bracket. Reggie did great, he won, then lost, then won, then lost. He was a good sport and had fun. We had a BBQ lunch there and then they had an award ceremony, where all the kids got squirt guns! Even Ainsley got a little one and there was even a hose at the park to fill the guns. Let’s just say Reggie didn’t leave very dry and to no surprise, he loves being a cub scout :o).
Group picture....you can tell the new ones because they wore their special shirt/hat:
Camping in the backyard This was our adventure over the 3 day weekend. We set up the tents and invited Caleb and Naomi over for a sleepover. They’ve never had a sleepover at a friends’ house before, so we weren’t quite sure what to expect, but they did great! The girls were all in one tent and the boys in another and everyone made it through the night. Sleeping in a tent isn’t that comfortable, so Ryan and I were pretty spent the next day, but it was worth it….the kids had so much fun! The best part was taking a shower and using our bathroom in the middle of the nigh-now that’s camping in style :o).
It was even better to be greeted in the morning by Libby and Scott, who brought us donuts from the Donut Wheel. Naomi’s actual birthday was that day, so they thought it would be fun and special and it was a hit.
