Trek & some friends from his school decided to enter the annual Alabama River Dragon Boat Race this year. They practiced as a team (of 21) for a few weeks & then raced on August 25th. It was hilarious seeing his team of buddies rowing together as fast as they could.
I took the kids down to watch. It was on the riverwalk in Montgomery so it was fun to explore the city with the kids a little bit.
Trek's team, the "'Stangs" won the award for most spirited team. They were a hoot to watch. They sang together, they danced together, they were very unified which made them do really well in the races.
Their drummer/leader dressed up like a viking & he banged the drum that the rest of the team rowed to.
It was a really fun race to watch. Here's a link to the actual race:
We watched from the shoreline of the river. It was the hottest, most humid day of the year, so we were pretty much DYING, but it was fun to watch.
What a neat experience. I'm loving the unique things we have to do here in Alabama. I love that my kids have the opportunity to experience so many things in their lives thanks to our many moves. I know it can be hard, but it's SO worth it.
