A lot of hot air

Oliver and Bryant had their rain gutter regatta race for cub scouts. I was happy that the boats were put together. They were very simple. But it appears that simple is best because Bry took first place in the Bear pack and Oliver took second place in the Webelos. Both boys got trophies and were thrilled. They push the boat by blowing through a straw. I always knew my boys had a lot of hot air, now I have proof.

Rocket Race

Oliver and Bryant participated in the Rocket Race for cub scouts early in November. I was a little bit nervous because it was me who helped with the rubber band engine. Jeff was on his Upstate rotation. We were glad when Jeff was able to make it to the event in time to see at least Oliver's races. I was glad that even though the boys didn't win, the rockets moved and didn't take last place every time. Bryant actually took second 3 different times. Oliver didn't fare quite as well, but had fun anyway. A good time was had by everyone even without winning.
