What do you do when.....

It rains for 3 days straight?

Well... you make boats of course!


Then the rain stops.... so what do you do????


Take the boats that you made (out of foil) and go race them!

First in the back yard... where it is "safe"

Here are the boats... I labeled them so you will know who's boat is who's.
Abi and Jace have "people" in their boats. Kade put rocks in his.

This was successful, so of course we have to go out front (into the street) and sail them across the big lake!
Ready.... set.... go!

Once they go... then you have to run around the lake to catch them! Add Image
If you are not so lucky, they will hit a rock and capsize (losing Optimus Prime... until the rain stops and the puddle dries up!)

Here is Abi trying to get her boat out of the water... Optimus Prime was in her boat, he went overboard when the boat capsized.....

I guess we will have to find him in the spring!

Did they feel a little like Noah building an ark? I'm glad your rain has stopped. Seeing your dirt roads made me realize I shouldn't complain about my gravelroads.
