Chilln' out in Maine

Hey ~ do you realize what today is?  

It's August 2nd, which means we are 

half way through Summer!  

It seems a good day to share some pics of an 

event we had in Maine back in March.  

The Cardboard Box Races!

Yeah, these people know how to make their own fun.

Multi-car Train

This year, unfortunately, it was a rather warm day, 

so not many of the racers made it to the finish line, 

even though the line itself was 

moved further up the hill.

The 3 Little Pigs and the Big Bad Wolf

Pirates

Many of them actually got out and carried 

their creations once it was apparent they had slid 

as far as they were going to slide.

Designs ranged from the simple . .  .

This guy in the blue jacket got a workout pushing many of the contestants to the finish line.

 . . . to the more complex.

I think this lobster fellow won for best design.

Mostly it was youngsters, but there were a few adults too.

Batmobile

Everyone had a great time!

Ok, I'm ready for snow now.
