Not even a little rain could dampen the spirits at Piers
Park Sailing Center! After a few intense games of Sharks & Minnows, our
fearless Harbor Explorers decided to brave the rain, don their life jackets and
head down to the dock to check out the lobster and crab traps. Unfortunately,
aside from a few crabs, the lobster trap came up empty. The crab traps, on the
other hand, were a success! The kids were so excited about our excellent haul
and the impending crab race that we didn’t even notice how soaking wet we were
all getting.

Eventually, Mother Nature won out and after some sounds of
thunder, we retreated to the covered tent area. But the fun continued and
things got pretty silly during a marine animals guessing game. Things learned
from today’s adventures include: Vinh is the most intense Sharks & Minnows
player ever; Jack is fearless when it comes to touching fish innards; and,
Christine is the strictest crab race referee in all of East Boston.

Even though we had a lovely rain day, a little sunshine
wouldn’t be so bad…
