Cub Scouts Derby Race 2011

This year was the boys' first Derby Car Race--and we are so proud of them! They picked out what they wanted their cars to look like from the internet, and we cut them roughly into those shapes for them. They did all the final sanding, painting, and decal applications.



They even showed us where to put their weights. Among all the work, we forgot to take pictures of them with their cars (oops)--but we managed to get the cars by themselves.

#18 and #20 among the contenders:

We didn't come home with any trophies, but overall the boys placed high in speed--very good for their first try! Can't wait for next year!

Our Cubs

See, we aren't terrible heathens--our boys are in Cub Scouts, where part of their Scout Promise is to do their "duty to God". AND when I said that my worries about not enough quality time with the kids was out the window?--it's because Cub Scouts forces us to do meaningful things together.

Here's our little Cubs:



We are so proud of them!
