Family Fun in July

Another weekend filled with family fun....we went to Indiana to celebrate our nephew's 14th birthday and to watch our nieces and nephews in their towns annual cardboard boat race. Anyone in their town can make a boat using cardboard and duct tape only. They have to make it one length of the pool and they are timed. Some float, some don't...those that sink get a Titanic award. It's really fun to see all the different boats and to see who wins! Each boat has a theme that the kids come up with. This was the first year we got to go and we had a great time!
Avery wanted in the water so bad!
