Raingutter Regatta

This is the first time our scouts had a Raingutter Regatta.  Blake made a green boat to race that he and Todd sanded down together and then Blake painted the sail.  It is so crazy to think Blake and his friends are now the older boys of the group.  The new Wolves seem so little yet it seems like just yesterday Blake was starting Cub Scouts. 
 The boys have to blow thier boats with a straw in a raingutter full of water and they race against another boy in thier age group.  I think Blake won one of his races and was eliminated on the second. 

Blake loves being able to make things and is looking forward to making his pinewood derby car.  He cares more about making the cars than winning the races.  I am not sure we can say the same about his Dad :)  I am glad Blake had a good time!
