Each year our school sponsors an invitiational basketball tournament and it's held at three area schools. I had admissions/gate duty from 11:00 - 12:30.
After that I picked up Sarah and we raced to the church where the Cub Scouts annual Raingutter Regatta was being held. It started at 12:00 so she and I missed the first heats but we got to see Peter race a cuope of the later heats.
He and Dan had worked hard on their boat, but it wasn't very fast unfortunately. But if gave Peter practice at being a good loser. A skill that he still needs to work on. That kid can do some serious sulking.
Here are a few pictures of him racing his boat:
I will admit this Regatta was a little bittersweet. It was his last one. In February (right after his last Pinewood Derby) he will be moving up to Boy Scouts. This weekend, the Weblos are going on a camping trip with the Boy Scouts. They are also doing a ropes course with them as well.
Peter is excited about the trip. One of his favorite things about scouting is the camping and as a Boy Scout, they go on a lot more camping trips than the Cubs. But don 't worry about me and Sarah. We will be just fine sleeping in a warm bed, eating at restaurants and shopping. We don't do tents, ropes or sleeping bags!

I like your thought of practicing at being a good loser. I think we all need that at times.
You are Sarah will have such fun!
Maybe it's the age...my son really struggles with being a good loser.
This growing up is so bittersweet. Wouldn't want them not to grow up, yet it keeps going faster and faster!
