RainGutter Ragatta / Bishop's BBQ 2009

This year, due to families with lots of activities and tight schedules, we held the Cub Scout Pack Meeting right before the BBQ. Planned was a Raingutter Regatta, which was a big hit.

And of course, it ran over into the BBQ, but was great entertainment, so no one minded a bit.

Here is Isaac, doing his best.

Blow a little harder!

Isaac had the winning heat!
In the end, Isaac and his really cool boat came in 4th place. Good job, Isaac!
Must have been the passed-out Lego sailor that got him the prize for "Most Realistic"!
Trampoline Time!

By this time, everyone is ready to eat . . . Pot Luck time!

After the races and food, the kids all had a great time just playing in the water
Lots
and lots
of people . . .

me & everyone else, chowing down


we had a good turnout . . . cars were lined up and down both sides of our driveway. . .
I hope everyone had a great time! See ya next year!

I remember doing those with my boys when they were in Scouts. Those are the kinds of occasions where you get some GREAT FOOD EH. Glad everyone had a good time.

I really am a fan of scouting and have enjoyed every moment of it.
They have never had a raingutter regatta around here - that looks so fun and different!

What a fun event and what a great looking back yard! I love the trampoline down in the ground.
