SPACE DERBY


This weekend was our Cub Scout
SPACE DERBY
(I know everyone knows about the pinewood derby - 
that's for cars - this is for ROCKET SHIPS)!

So after sanding the rocket to into the perfect rocket ship
(well what we thought was the perfect shape - stay tuned)
Kale decided he wanted a silver rocket ship
so he started painting. . .

Then he wanted some stripes - but remember I've posted before
about him not really liking anything crafty   - 
so he called in reinforcements and called his friend Kyla to come
over for advice on stripes and colors.

So here is the final rocket 
(looks good - where did the silver go?)


OK - ready to race. . .


Now in this picture first notice that all of the people are looking to the right -
well, that's the end of the race. . .
Now look toward the beginning of the track - there's Kale's rocket.

So our rocket didn't do so good.
(kinda hard for an 8 year old to swallow at first)
but got over it quickly and had a great time cheering his fellow cub scouts on!

His rocket won the award for:
most likely to be used for time travel!

Having run the event myself, I understand that it can be stressful.
