i'm on a boat

Micah has been asking for over a week now if we can build a boat. He either got the idea from school (they've been studying transportation and sinking/floating) or Curious George (Bill builds a boat therefore George does too) or a combination of both. Today we finally did it. We used foam trays for the base, straws for the mast and scrapbook paper for the sail. Then we had to see if they worked. They successfully floated in the tub!! Then it was cargo time. The boys had fun for about 5 minutes calmly and nicely adding animals and people to their boats. Then the storms hit!! Those poor animals didn't know what hit them. The remaining time was spent with boats capsizing, people falling out and two little boys yelling OH NO YOU'RE IN THE WATER! Fun times :)
