On Friday evening, the boys participated in the Cub Scout Raingutter Regatta! They have worked on shaping, painting & decorating their boats for the past 2 weeks - and finally race day arrived! At the event, they pair up the kids and race one boat vs. another boat in side by side raingutters filled with water.
At events like this, you will find that most of the dads pretty much make the boats for the kids. We choose to allow our children the freedom to create their own boats (I think you can tell by the paint job!). But, we value their ability to create - rather than our ability to help them win! :) It was a double-elimination race and Harrison lasted through 4 or 5 races. Franklin made it through 3. For the tag-a-long bracket, they only did single elimination. Truman really enjoyed his one race! :) All three boys did a great job with creating the boats & racing. We are proud of them!!
