Dad's Boat and Dallin's boat

For Jeff's birthday last week, Dallin really wanted to get him a boat. So we bought him a cheap one. It was finally nice enough to go outside, and we took the boat out. At first he was a little concerned because every time we would walk by the pond he would ask us to read the sign. He thought we would get in trouble because it said no boating!
He had fun anyways. He loved to come "park" it against the side.
Now to Dallin's boat. We bought this kit from Michael's to build this ship. It said it was easy and just required a little glue. I am no so crafty....so I could not figure it out. I tried everything. Finally I got some packing tape and taped it all up. It looked pathetic, but Dallin didn't seem to mind.

One day it was actually warm enough the kids had a picnic for lunch on the back porch. They thought it was so much fun, and they ask to do it pretty much every day. Chicago lives up to its windy city nickname, and is normally too windy/cold for the kids to eat outside.

I love your packing tape assembled ship:) Looks like something I would end up doing-but mine probably wouldn't hold up long enough to take a picture.
