Raft Race

Last week the kids made rafts from sticks and string. We decided to take them to the river (well really a big creek!) that runs through the park at the back of our home

The kids let them go over the bridge ... the race was on!

Occasionally the rafts got stuck on debris in the river and there were a few brave, yet risky attempts to rescue them without getting wet. Naomi's raft floated the furthest, but she still got upset when it final dipped under some branches and was never seen again.

We also discovered a few great climbing trees which Nicholas and Elaina thoroughly enjoyed.
