Duct Tape Boat Race




This whole week our fun little town is celebrating it's birthday. They call it Salem Days. We have such fun events and more than half of them are free. I will have to do an update daily on this stuff because it is so fun and there is so much to do and going on. Last night was our famous Duct Tape and Cardboard boat race around Salem Pond. Very simple. The rules are you have 3 pieces of cardboard, 3 rolls of duct tape, and 1 stick. And then you go at your hearts desire. Whatever shape decorations and so on is up to you. We decided to do this as a family. Of course Cory did most of it. bringing along his leveler. The people in our ward all thought that was really funny. If I can figure out video I will put it on here. But Keller raced and when he got pushed off he started to tip and got water in the boat which then made it start to sink. But he did not give up. He climber right back on and tried as hard as he could to row. Finally we told him just to come back. They had to use 2 jet skis to try to get the boat in. This was their first experience with Salem Days and they loved it! They have been out of town every year since we have lived here. But it was so much fun to go and see and have them be a part of. Next on our list is the baby contest for Addison, the Gravity Grand Prix, and the Movie in the ball field tonight. Updates will be tomorrow!
