The day after the 4th of July, there was a little boat race activity down at a local park that my mom had signed my kids and my niece and nephews up for.

The kids each got a boat to decorate.

Then, the boats were put into the creek to race.

(that’s Reed, fishing his out.)

(yes, Big L was there, too, but she did not make a boat. You can find her in all purple here, next to my crazy nephew in yellow who looks ready to jump off the bridge.)

The kids had lots of fun. It might have to make this a new tradition.
