Gutter Boats

We've had quite a bit of rain recently, so we had our first boat race. Otherwise known as "decorate popsicle sticks with crayons and send it down the street gutter race." It was quite fun.

The racing boats.

The audience.

S was in charge of finish line to start line boat transportation (using her bike basket).

On your marks, get set, go!

The finish line (see sidewalk chalk) - make sure you catch the boats before they float into the catch basin, also known as "gutter boat heaven."

The winner's trophy!

  1. what a fun idea!! we have a near-constant creek running down our street, right in front of our house. no gutters/sidewalks around these here parts, but the creek should work just fine!
