lets go boating I said!
I pillaged my stash of craft goodies for all things boatable and floatable.
Most important i decided that craft foam will be our base!
After a bit of trying, i jumped in to build the base of the boats... some better and more elaborate than others, but all of which will float
the two orange boats are mine and the baby's... the other ones, alls i did was staple or glue the craft foam and show them how to use brad fasteners and they did the decorating and flag building and mast making and canopies, etc.... they all turned out really great in my opinion... the pink one had A CANNON... i tried to talk her out of it, but she insisted on cutting out a huge hole for the toilet paper tube cannon, i wouldn't want to be the craft foam boat that crosses her boats path :)
mine done up in pink and blue flags
the baby's... he didn't help at all really other than telling me what colors he preferred, but he really liked it and didn't let any one else hold it for him!
that piece hanging off is the flag, haha
his favorite color is green, and that was really the only thing that mattered
she said it looked like the arc... i had to agree!
he is delighted that we get to see them float now
and they are off.... floating in the wrong direction!?!
a few dont get stuck on the other side of the stream and make it under the bridge to the "rapids"
the baby's floats the best and looks really neat... he followed it all the way down the stream
mine got stuck amongst the roots
what is daddy up to?
Skipping rocks perhaps... or target practice with the stray boats :)
And we played in the water until we were too hungry to go on and then we had ourselves a picnic and headed home for nap time... boat racing is a lot of work!!
