The Soapbox Race, that is. Tomorrow we're taking the kids to the Red Bull Soapbox Race in Providence. Should be a good time - looks like there are about 60 different teams entered. I'm sure we'll have to go online tonight (before the Sox game starts, of course!) to checkout the sketches and decide which team(s) we're going to root for. Before the race starts, we're going to take a walking tour of the new Iway bridge (exciting! that's what happens when you come from a family of engineers) and grab a bite to eat. Other tentative plans for the weekend include: whipping up a batch of this; curling up on the couch and trying to finish this; entertaining the kids during the big game by making some of these; and hopefully eating some warm apple pie homemade by T (he took the kids apple picking Monday while I was working - some holiday!). HAPPY WEEKEND!

How was it? We thought about going but read all the restrictions online, including the NO FOOD thing, and thought it would be awful hard to bring a 3yo and 5yo without familiar, approved snacks.
It was pretty fun! I think you could have easily brought your own snacks... there were plenty of college kids that had their own food, and where we were (right on Waterman Street) it didn't seem like anyone was checking or cared. My only recommendation would be to get there early - the place was mobbed. The kids were able to sneak up to the front to see, but it was very crowded. Lots of people had brought chairs and set up early...
