Raingutter Regatta

Henry earning the World Conservation Award. I didn't even hear his name being called, so the picture is cruddy.

The inflatable raingutters, new this year & very handy.

Getting ready to start the races, each rank had a table.

Anxious Henry waiting for his turn.

And they are off!

huffhuffpuffpuffhuff...i'm dizzy

Nicholas waiting his turn at the trough.

Nicholas had a melt-down because he had to wait again for another turn.

After the races, the boys could 'race' their boats against anyone or themselves.

The boys were fascinated by the big scouts who were emptying the gutters. Lots of questions.

Nicholas was happy to get his mess kit.

Henry's mess kit, luckily its slightly different then Nicholas'. I'm never without a Sharpie, names were immediately added to the kits.
