A Columbus Day Regatta

This is a fun post.
Ethan's 1st grade class celebrated Columbus Day
by building individual boats
and then racing them down a small
creek next to the school.
The teacher sent down 2 boats at a time.

Here is Ethan right before his race.
He and his daddy had so much
fun building this boat the night before.


Ethan was one of the last two racers to go.
He was absolutely terrified when he saw he
would be racing the biggest boat in class.

I am happy to report that Ethan won hands down.
The large boat was too big for the shallow creek. It kept getting
caught on all the rocks and tree limbs.

Ethan's Dread Pirate Roberts Ship.

Here is Charlie's large cruise liner.
The kids were so creative with their boats.
This was such a fun class project.

Gotta say I love the Dread Pirate Roberts boat. What a fun class activity. And look, a creek! I don't know the last time I saw one of those. Congrats on the win, Ethan!

Apple Festival

OK,  I was too excited to wait on this new post.  We went to the Hendersonville Apple Festival this afternoon.  We have lived here 2 years and this was our first time going.  It was fun.  People had their crafts for sale and of course, lots of apples.  Anyways, center stage, a band was performing old rock n roll music.  We stopped to take a break and enjoy ice cream.  While sitting there, a square dancer asked Larry Denzil to be her partner in the square dancing routine.  Talk about a laugh, I hope you guys enjoy the pictures.  Did I forget to mention that the Hurts were in for a visit? Ok, here is Larry Denzil having a great time square dancing. I think he has found his true calling. Here is little Larry relaxing during the bands gig. Here is Larry Denzil and the little old lady who asked him to be her partner.  Poor thing, I do not think she read the back of his shirt.  He had the number  7 and at the top it said Baby Maker.  This was his work soft ball shirt. He is actually enjoying...
