Raingutter Regatta

For the October Cub Scout Pack Meeting, we had our annual Raingutter Regatta. This was a first for us because we missed this meeting last year. They give the boys a boat kit, they have to put it together, and they get to race it in the rain gutters filled with water! Before the race, they received their awards, and these pictures were not so great before I fixed them with the push of one button (auto contrast) with Picasa. Picasa is great! I use it to upload my pictures to the blog also - it is much faster than pulling them up individually from My Pictures. What will Google think of next?

Close up of his boat - he likes skulls:

Dallas cheating with his boat (not supposed to use your hands, you can only blow air into the sail) - his favorite color is still green

Dallas vs. Noah:

Dan is trying to help Dallas not to cheat! He is so excited and wants to win badly!

Looks like Dallas is in the lead:
