Tonight was the famous cub Scout "rocket derby". Spencer and Dan worked REALLY hard every night for the past week and a half on this rocket. It started out as a piece of block just like the car derby blocks. They had to shape it, sand it, prime it, paint it and then decorate it.
If it was me making it, the rocket would have taken one night, but we won't go there! Oh, and it wouldn't look this good either! Dan is an Architect and HIS...oops...Spencer's rocket was their "project this week. I am so glad it is a daddy and sons project! Anyways, the rocket won every race but one, when it was disqualified for going so fast it flew off the track. The one loss knocked it to 4th place. Yah, doesn't make sense to us either, but that is ok because it did get the award for BEST DESIGN and to Dan (being a designer) that was just as good as winning. Grandma Clinger was able to come watch, which was so important to Spencer. Spencer had a blast and loved watching all the rockets compete! I videoed every race , so here are just a few!
