Leif Erikson Party

Here are some pictures of some of the people that came to our party.

Aunt Emily and my cousin Brayden

Cousin Amy

The schrubbery exchange was a huge hit this year.

Here is the boat building station.

Some people take the boat race very seriously.

Here are Darik, Joy and Brian hard at work.

It looks like Sarah is either done building her boat and putting if off for now.

We raced the boats outside in the "ocean" Frank built for us a few years ago.

Here I am having fun. Mommy put me in my stroller because I kept wanting to eat sticks.

Nana won a jar of lingonberries for building the prettiest boat.

Sue Tourville's boat was the overall winner and will get her name printed on the back of our t-shirts next year. She will also get a free t-shirt and will race her boat again next year. Stay tuned to see how it held up after a year in the display box.

My grandpa Rick's boat won last year and Mommy raced it this year for him. It won the heat but in the final race Sue's boat dominated to take the grand prize.

Congratulations Sue Tourville!
