We've been having a good time with it. Let's me remember when I was a kid and I was a scout for a few years. I never went to Boy Scouts. My brother did though. I was a little more wound tight when I was a kid. They had a father and son "bake off". This was about the time of the Wendy's "Where's the beef?" ads....1980's We made two round cake layers and didn't assemble it. In the middle of one, we put one of those giant peppermint patties. I think we won a prize, I'm pretty sure.
This is from my son's pack Pinewood derby. They have a metal track with a computerize scoring system. My boy won a "judge's choice" award. In the car he said he wanted to win one of the competition prizes next year. LOL
His is the black (Grand Am) car, mine is the 908 tribute. I didn't have time to make fenders. He did all the painting and sanding, I helped with the cutting.
We went camping in the summer. It was a lot of fun. All the families eat 10 to a table in the mess hall. The kids have to get the food and clean up. We rotated through the bunch, but my son did it twice. Since he proved he could clean up, I have him doing that now after meals at home.
