At the beginning of the summer we had the boys watch a YouTube video on how to whittle. We decided to have them each whittle a boat for a boat race as an incentive for them to spend time whittling.
There were definitely different levels of interest and the two that spent the most on their boats were Hunter and McKay.
McKay actually made 3 boats. They were all pretty fancy.
Lincoln is our monkey-boy.
Ready to race (Hunter took his sail off because it kept tipping over).
Here we go!
Winner of the first race!
Palmer is subtly trying to push the water to help his boat along...
We had to find different ways to begin the race since it was getting a little out of control competitive.
Seriously competitive.
Palmer want Hunter both won 4 out of the 10 races, so they did a tie breaker. Shaking hands before it began.
Lincoln was super into it...
Hunter ended up winning and since McKay made the trophy he got to present it to Hunter.
The winner of the first ever Nelson Regatta!
