Trenton's Cub Scout pack recently held a "Raingutter Regata" in the church parking lot. It was very informal as the boys constructed their boats out of styrofoam as they arrived for the regata and then raced moments later. The boats began with sails, but the boys quickly learned that they went much faster down the water-filled gutter without the sail. Trenton's boat won everytime!
Owen enjoyed catching the water as it dripped out the end of one of the gutters. At least he was occupied so I could cheer Trenton on.
The third graders at Trenton's school perform a very touching Memorial Day tribute for local veterans every year. How lucky we were that we moved here while Trenton was a third grader or we would have missed it. All of the kids painted their own tshirt to wear in the performance. This tradition at Trenton's school is a very big deal and has brought the school a lot of recognition.
In addition to the 3rd grade Memorial Day performance, Trenton's school puts out hundreds of flags around the perimeter of the school. It is breath-taking to see so many flags in one place! They are kind of hard to see in this picture, but this is a shot from the side parking lot.
Trenton also participated in his school's art fair. He painted the picture he is seated next to along with several others. He really enjoyed seeing his art work framed and on display for the whole school to see.
This is the last of several third grade projects Trenton completed this year. It is a hairy mammoth that lived during the Ice Age. Trenton did a ton of research about this animal and wrote an impressive research report about what he learned. He is becoming quite the entertaining writer.
