Skippin' Rocks and Stick Races

What fun what fun!

We went to skip rock and have stick races!

I have been taught many times how to skip rocks,

I try so hard and I just never can, but guess what!?

After many tries and lots of patience I did it!

I skipped a bunch of rocks! I felt so cool!

Thanks Kyle!

Then came the stick races.

I had only ever tried in this in the gutters as a little kid.

And only when it rain hard enough to fill up the gutters,

which wasn't very often in Phoenix, AZ. 

So we picked our sticks very carefully.

And then we picked a starting line and a finish line.

I was so confident, I got this.

Sticks take your mark. . . GO!

My stick was in the lead and it was awesome until,

disaster struck! My stick got caught in the wrong current,

and it got captured by an evil mound of sticks and mud. Ew.

So sad and then we tried a few more races and I'd rather not

say how those went. ;) 

Kyle Won.

Then I thought I know we could play tic-tac-toe and the dot game!

I knew I could win those and redeem myself.

So I drew a board out with a stick in the mud and kyle jumped right in.

And he beat me. How was that even possible. Not even a cats game.

So we kept trying and it was cats games after that.

Then came the dot game.

Same story almost except, I won one game!

And you can bet I was proud of it too!

It was just a really fun outing!
