Slug Race

On Sunday we headed down to the "Party at the Port" and participated in the slug races.  The local ice cream shop, Slugs N' Stones Ice Cream Cones, puts on the annual event.  We did not have any slugs, so we rented a couple of them.  Beckett's slug we named Slime Lightening and Pierce's slug we named Old Pro.  
 Beckett listened to the instructions for the race. 
 Then it was time to put the slugs in the bags.  Beckett started screaming because his slimy slug was climbing out of his cup.
 Daddy came to the rescue and put the slugs in the bags.
 Once the slugs were in the bottom of the bag, they lowered the wood.  The first slug out of the bag was the winner. 
 We watched with great anticipation!
 A slug race really draws a crowd. 
 The boys did not win the slug race, but we celebrated anyway with some ice cream from Slugs N' Stones.

I didn't realize they had activities going on at the Port after the parade. What a fun day!
