Rain Gutter Regatta

Last night Riley competed in his scout groups rain gutter regatta. We received the boat kit on Sunday. With the race on Thursday it created a bit of a time dilemma. Monday Ryan and I walked part of our precinct for Prop. 8, Tuesday Riley had a soccer game, leaving Wednesday the only and final day to work on the boat. Ryan and Riley stayed up late sanding, painting, and gluing. When Ryan left for work the next day he left us with a few final instructions to finish off the boat. We were not too optimistic of Riley's chances since it was all so last minute, but you never know what may happen. Riley came out the victor. He only lost one race when his sail fell down for a moment. For winning Riley received a bunch of baseball cards, two baseball pins, a baseball poster, and some free tickets to the Midway Museum for him and his sisters. It was a lot of fun to watch. Way to go Riley!!
