Rocket Time

Because Andrea is in Cub Scouts at church (not by her choice mind you!), Mackay and I were lucky enough to get to join in on the space wood derby (like pinewood derby but with rubber band propelled balsa wood rocket ships that race along a string stretched the length of the basketball court). I helped him assemble it, but he painted it himself (Andrea actually helped paint the glitter paint on it).

With the right rubber band and propeller, the rocket shot all the way across the gym! He even won a medal (with the rest of the scouts...everyone was a winner!). Here's a few pictures.
