Minnows and Boats

On Sunday I decided that I would take the kids out and "Make a Memory". You know, do something that you hope that they look back on later in life and smile at the fun they had when they were young. I took the kids down to the park to try to catch minnows in the small creek that runs through the far end. They really had fun. Lauren got pretty good and catching the minnows and had all these other kids trying it. Brandon wanted to build a dam and then got the idea that we should have brought one of his derby boats. Brandon and I ended up going back on Monday night. We brought his little boat from the Raingutter Regatta, but it was missing the bottom weight and kept falling over. Brandon was somewhat disappointed until he switched to catching minnows and got his first.

This morning I got on-line and found a great site for little model boats. I purchased two. The one is really cute. It is called a sailing flea. It is much smaller than the usual boats. I also got him a 8" one. Hopefully they will work out good for a great summer project. Here are some pictures of our trip on Sunday.
