Raingutter Regatta- Blown Away!

Thursday was Alex's pack meeting for Scouts and the annual Raingutter Regatta! This was his first boat making contest. He really loved painting his boat and decorating it with snakes! He named it "The Death Snakes" and painted it red and black. Too bad the snakes weren't deadly enough...the boat did not perform the way he had hoped, and lost nearly every race! Thankfully Alex was a great sport and laughed while he blew his sail and continued to lose...however...he did win 2 races! We can't win ALL the races- since he beat everyone in the Pinewood Derby, he thought he'd give someone else a chance to win- ha ha!! Just kidding, of course! Congrats to Logan for 1st place- and all the boys for their hard work and talents!
Here are some cute shots of the boys and their toys (boats!):




The girls had fun, too- here is Celeste reading Alex's scout book, and the girls climbing trees:





Alex received his Bobcat advancement in this ceremony too- and he got to carry the US flag! Way to go, Alex!!
