Here are some of the things that have kept us on the go...
Reflections--
The boys both entered the Reflections contest this year. Aidan did an amazing origami display. This kid NEVER ceases to amaze me. He found how to make these tanks and fighter jets online & then constructed the entire piece by himself. Honestly, I was shocked that he didn't win first prize.
Regardless, it was absolutely creative and AMAZING.
Dylan's entry was for photography.
We entered the pictures that he took while we were on our frog hunting adventure up in the canyon. The picture we entered was one of Aidan hanging from a tree.
Needless to say, Dylan was TICKED that he didn't win first prize either. Apparently, we were told the judges thought the picture was OF HIM & not taken by him.
Oh well, we'll chalk it all up as a learning experience.
Haha...as you can see he was MUCH happier after since he got to go to Jump On It! The day was saved!
Pinewood Derby--
This was Dylan's first year to be able to compete in the Pinewood Derby.
Older brother, Aidan, was old hat at the competition, but Dyl was a bit nervous. No worries...
Their cars....
"Corvette" by Aidan
"Red Demon" by Dylan
The track was pretty hi-tech with all of the races being monitored by computers and the winners displayed on a movie theater type screen...the kids loved it!
Aidan was first up...
..Yahoo! 2nd place!!!
Now for Dyl...
...haha, FIRST PLACE!!! Not too shabby! He was a little bit shy about it after...with a little grin to his face;)
All in all, it was a pretty dang good time
Afterward, we celebrated with ICE CREAM!!!!
