Rocket Launch

Ryan's Cub Scout pack had their rocket launch last week.  One of the hardest things about being a Cub Scout parent is making these 'projects' that the kids are supposed to make on their own.  There is no way a 1st or 2nd grader would be able to make a racecar or rocket on their own.  My Dad spent a couple of hours on the rocket and so did Evan.  That was before Ryan even started the painting and finishing process.  Hopefully he'll have fond memories of these events, because they are a lot of work!

Ryan received first place on one launch, second on another, and third on the last.  He was devastated to be out of the running for a trophy.  That is the tough part about the races - someone always had to lose and it is no fun when it is you!
