Cork boats

 On Friday we made cork boats. It was made out of 3 corks and 3 leaves, to keep it all together we used hot glue. We did a few trail runs. I made 3 boats when I glued the bottle caps it turned hot. The one that I used in a race was made out of 4 corks, a kebab stick and a piece of  calf meal sack. I won 2 races, Jackson won 1. We did it in a trough in the horse's paddock. When I was coming up to the house I was humming with glee.
