It was inspired by the annual Dragon Boat Races that are hosted on Lake Lanier...we have always meant to go, but in our ten years here have never made it before this year. (boo.)
In honor of the festivities, we decided to make our own boats out of the recycling bin. Thankfully we had forgotten it was Tuesday (recycling pick up day) for more than one Tuesday, so there were options.
Actually, we didn't need much to choose from...one box of Honey Nut Cheerios and Wheat Thins were enough...along with a twig and some wax paper...and crayons...oh...and duct tape.
(that cupcake liner garland was from Chloe's birthday party...
I like it so much that I have left it up ever since)
Most of the fun was in the building.
Kevin is very gifted at making something out of nothing...
so our boats were very impressive.
There was a lag of a few days in our launch,
As we were pleasantly surprised by the magnitude of the Dragon Boat Races.
After spending the majority of our day at the festival, it was time for dinner and the bedtime routine.
Life and it's busyness happened, but finally,
we hit the shores of Lake Lanier and bid adieu to our beloved boats.
cute, huh?
I think Chloe may have actually kissed her boat goodbye.
They were sea-worthy and floated for an unexpectedly long time.
We called it a tie and headed home for bed.
All three boats sailed peacefully off into the sunset.
Good times.
