Space Derby

The Cub Scouts Space Derby. What can I say? What Jay and I don't know about building cars and space crafts is a lot. It's a good thing the boys are supposed to do all the work themselves, under adult supervision. The thing is, when we got to the derby, it became obvious that some of the dads had made this their little pet project for the last couple of weeks. The paint jobs alone - it looked like they had been taken to a professional body shop!

Funny thing is, Collin ended up having a couple of really good runs despite much of this kind of "parental supervision". He didn't come close to winning but his space craft did, though I don't know exactly how it happened, get voted as the "Best Looking" space craft. All I can say is, you should see them all up close and judge for yourselves. Sydney got the support of all of her friends and so did Collin and I think that in the end, a lot of the adults ended up voting for a space craft that actually looked like it had been done by a kid.

Good job, Collin! He did an awesome job!
