Rain Gutter Regatta
I didn’t know what a Rain Gutter Regatta was, until Tuesday. Apparently it’s a scouting event where you make your own boats and sail them down rain gutters. I didn’t get many pictures because Zach and I were taking turns taking care of Ila (who fell asleep on the way to the church) and Thomas while helping our older three kids modify their boats. 
Charlotte designed something a little different than most by primarily using paper. Nicole created something completely random starting with a yellow pipe cleaner then a pair of eyes.
Nicole was proud of her design:
Until she saw someone with a sail, then she had to have a sail as well:
It was funny, each time I saw Nicole she had added another random item to her boat—I didn’t get a picture of the finished product, but it was amazingly random.
Charlotte’s test run:
Unfortunately, paper gets wet quickly and starts to sink:
And that’s the end of my pictures of the Rain Gutter Regatta, I should have taken a few more of Isaac’s creation—I thought Zach had taken a few.
