Ryley Won the 2011 Cub Scout Space Derby!

Our expectations when we started the evening were average. We had a three rubber band engine, which we ended up replacing 4 times (once all three rubber bands all broke!)

This year, Ryley did the majority of carving and painting himself. I thought he might win "best in show," but it was not meant to be...

He was however meant to win 1st place overall! Yes...he had the fastest ship there! See how excited he was? His eyes are sparkling!

Number one with a bullet! Now to the video tape!

Ryley wins the first heat on distance...

Everytime they announced "number 5" as the winner, I couldn't believe it. I still can't believe it!

Ry's rocket crashes and burns...

Luckily there was super glue, new rubber bands and another chance to win...

New Years Eve 2010

Josie almost made it to midnight. She was sound asleep at 11:47pm.

Amusingly, this photo was taken at 11:45pm. She crashed really quick.
