8 a.m. Faced with a rainy day ahead of us, the kids and I begin a boat-building project. 
12 noon We work through lunch, snacking as we go, and begin testing some of the vessels:
3 p.m. After almost a full day of building, the kids christen their creations "Little Aloha," "Zip Zip," "The BIG Henry," and half a dozen more:
4:30 p.m. We head out to the creek and set up our dry dock.
4:45 p.m. We launch boats, catch worms, and watch the roaring creek.
Michael calls it all "delicious:"
5:45 p.m. We head home, straight for the bathtub, which we fill to capacity with the four kids and their favorite boats!
7:30 p.m. Everyone's all cleaned up and ready for a favorite dinner: chicken nuggets, broccoli, and noodles.
(Too much) later: After such a fun day, everyone sleeps soundly!

I'm so impressed. What fun! This is another idea I'd like to copy. What creativity! Looks like they loved every minute! Definitely a day they won't forget.
Where do you get all your ideas from? Do you have some sort of reference manual for them? You should compile all of your ideas for a single post, that way I can copy them!
Oh Amy, you would have been valedictorian of my graduating class!!! You've got lucky kids. :)
I really enjoyed these funny pics. Thanks!
Sorry we missed it!! Phooey on basketball games...
Once again I am blown away by your creativity. I love the names the boys gave their ships. So cute!
You are an incredible mom!
