When it rains...we PLAY!!!

It's been raining all day here in Peoria, which mean we now have a roaring river in our yard! Hooray!
OK, so it's not actually a roaring river. But there was still an opportunity here. What do you think this elementary-school teacher thought when she saw this scene?

BOAT RACES!!!! (of course)

When I picked Braden up from work we set to the task of making and decorating a pair of paper boats. I think they look pretty good...So now we needed to test them.They raced and raced and raced. But in the end there had to be a winner. It was Tiffany's boat!!!

Braden had the fortunate job of fixing the new sod after the boats were done racing.

Then again, maybe he was just playing in the wet dirt...
