This Weekend

This past weekend was pretty busy for kids events. On Saturday, Jacob had the Raingutter Regatta and the girls each had a birthday party to attend. Additionally, the girls had a photo shoot for their dance class, but some how I missed that Nalin had one.

The Raingutter Regatta is a model boat race sponsored by the cub scouts. In my opinion, its a lot more fun than the Pinewood Derby, because although the construction and design of the boat is usually much simpler than a derby car, the kids actually participate in the race by providing the wind for their boat's sails.

Perhaps it is not a shock that the verbose Jacob was able to effectively weild enough hot air to win his den's race. The race was a two and out format. After winning his first race, Jacob's second round race was to close to call. They reraced, and he won easily. Jacob then won first place for his den by winning the third race. Of course, Jacob was very happy because he won a plaque for his efforts.





Aleena and Nalin had fun at the birthday parties. Aleena had her face painted, and I captured a few shots.
