Pinewood Derby Races

Well this was the big day for Colin's Cub Scout Pinewood derby race.  He picked the design of Perry the platypus (imagine that).  He did most of the work on it and I thought he did a great job.  I probably pushed him to try and get it perfect then realized just let him do the best he can.  Looks just like a platypus!! 

This was one of the heats he was in.  As I was helping with the races, I took pictures.

The last picture shows his car (third lane over) flying down the track.  He races 4 times and came in first two of the times.  A computer was used to time the races and calculate the winners.  It also figures the speed and one of Colin's speed was 127 MPH.  Now that is fast!!!

GOOD JOB COLIN !!!!!!



Rock climbing

Two weekends ago, the family went to Terre Haute shopping and while at the mall they had free rock climbing for kids.  The boys were all about it but Kendra was skeptical.  We convinced her just to try it and to go as high as she felt comfortable.  Caden got too high and got upset until we told him to let go and the cable let him down slow.  Colin got to a point, he could not climb past, close to the top and had to come down because he was getting tired.  They all tried it and we are proud of them for that. Here's the pics.
