The Raingutter Regatta











Will is in Cub Scouts this year and he participated in the Rain gutter Regatta on Saturday. There was a great turn out with 65+ boys racing their boats. The race course is made of two rain gutters and the boys power their boats only by blowing on them (with help from the wind at times)! Abbey was such a good big sister and cheered Will on in every race.
We were all surprised when Will won 2nd place in the Wolf Cub division (1st graders) and his boat was picked for best design. He was a good sport when winning and losing. When he lost in the final race, his eyes welled up, but he held it together. Later as he noticed some of his friends getting upset over losing a race he told me that losing was so hard to understand.
