cub scout

Jackson is Cub Scout now and he LOVES it.  He looks forward to it each week and comes home so happy. He even went to scout camp last week for 2 days and was so thrilled!  He got to shoot BB guns, bow and arrows, and he came home filthy but so happy! 

The pinewood derby was a few weeks ago.  He and Brian worked really hard on his car.  The man that ran the race track (and owned it) was an interesting individual with very strict rules.  If you jumped over the track you owed him money (people have done that and broken it), no more adding graphite to the cars once the race started etc...  

Jackson's car originally didn't do very well.  He came in dead last every time.  It was so sad, he was heartbroken but tried to be a good sport.  

Surprisingly, the man running the track, announced after the first round that everyone could add more graphite to their cars.  Brian jumped up and another leader had some that he added.  The man came up to me and said that he did this because he thought Jackson's car needed it.  And he was right! 

His car came in first or second the entire second round.  He was so happy and so were we! :)

 Logan adores his big brother!
