Space Derby

I've been wanting our pack to experience a space derby for quite some time. I finally found someone to build a track for us and we did it!

Having never done a space derby before, I did a lot of online research. I read that you should use a potato peeler to carve your wood. It worked beautifully.
Then I came across these cool treats that I just HAD to make for all the cubs.

Since we only have 6 cub scouts, we invited the families to make their own ships as well. I'm not sure who was more excited about that....Genevieve or Wayne.

On to the race.....

To keep the younger kids busy, Sister Wood brought a cute space bean bag toss board.

Wayne and his X-Wing Fighter.

All but one of my cubs and their ships.

It was a fun event that we plan on doing every year now that I have a track!

It's great to be eight!

We are so proud of Hayden and his choice to get baptized last month.

Thank you to ALL the family that made it out! It really means a lot to have family support.

And thank you to a spectacular friend/photographer who knew I needed a silly face photo.

It was a great weekend!

The last of the summer nights.

What do you do with five energetic kids on a warm summer night? You send 'em outside.

What a fun night! The kids loved the wagon rides Wayne gave them.

And of course, he, being the biggest kid of them all, needed his very own turn in the wagon.

Look at those kids WORK!

Genevieve and Ty are so cute together.

Wayne was pulling the wagon soooo fast that Ty and Genevieve were barely keeping up.

This is Ty saying, "Karen, Karen, Karen, watch this!" Ty has so many "tricky" moves.

So fun!
