Fixing the boats.

Abby and Libby's little fleet of boats saw some pretty serious duty this summer, first at Laverne Park, and then later at Silver Falls State Park. I built the boats out of scrap 2x4s last summer, and gave them coats of bright colors. They made their debut at our 4th of July camping trip to Tugman Park, and later appeared at Abby's 4th birthday party.

The boats were looking pretty ragged by the end of summer.



I've been really trying to keep busy, so on Saturday, I took some time to sand down the rough spots, and repaint.




I put a couple more hooks on the pegboard above the workbench to act as a drying rack.




All ready to go for next year!

Brendan and Jacob, (Kricket's cousin Carrie's sons,) have requested their own boats patterned after the yellow one. I'll get those made over the winter.
