Boat Races


We finished the weekend with Boat Races.  This is Gia and Emma's boat...Gia was so proud.

Marc was the mastermind behind all of the boats.

Here is Olivia and Sophie's boat.

Ceci wanted her own boat.

So Marcus got his own boat too.  Ready to race!

We walked to the bridge to let the boats out in the creek.

Marc put all the boats in at one end.

The kids ran to a bridge downstream to see who the winner would be.

Marcus made his way down to the creek to get a closer look.

Olivia and Sophi's boat was doing really well until it got stuck.
 
Uncle Wes was at the bottom ready to catch the boats.

Ceci was the winner...they were all very excited for her.

Well, almost everyone was excited...Marcus needed to have a little lesson on what it means to be a good sport...he did eventually congratulate her though.  Great Job Kids!

Then it was ice cream time.  Olivia got bubblegum.

Sophie and Marcus got Moose Tracks.

Emma got bubblegum too.

Gia really enjoyed her ice cream.

They all huddled together to talk about the race...they ended with a big thanks to Uncle Marc.

What a great weekend!  Thanks for having us Carl and Beth!

The boat races were a great event! I loved how Marc spearheaded the boat building. A memory the cousins will not soon forget. Thanks Marc and Tracie for the ice cream.
