For Boat-a-Palooza, people are given pieces of cardboard and one roll of duct tape with which to build a boat. Boats are then raced around a marker and back to the starting line---hopefully without sinking.
Here are Megan Dorgan (our niece) and her family working on their boat, Anchors Away.
Reiley and Lily composed the crew, and they did great! We all thought they would have placed in the race (which was done in a series of heats, by time), but no trophy for them.
We thought we would escape the August heat by leaving Virginia, but it was steamy in Iowa yesterday. Much of the rest of the day was spent relaxing in the shade and taking in fluids. It was fun to chat with Reiley; hard to believe that she is in high school already!
The kids cooled off by jumping into the lake from the back of Tim's boat.
Another magnificent day!
