It is that time of year again! The mad dash to get the blocks of wood in some design, carved, painted, weighed, and checked in. Isabella, following her "girly" passions, entitled her car "Horse in Pasture". It consisted of a Lego horse, green hollowed out block with a black board fence around the edges. It you look closer you can see the horse eating a painted on carrot.
This year, Anton went for scary but normal looking car. His is a typical slanted cut design painted black with a Lego Skeleton with a mace in hand. The most ingenious one came from new comer, Jacob, who painstakingly chiseled his car to look like a rabid squirrel with bushy tail and red eyes.
This year was not as quiet for us as before. Due to chaos from the boys excitedly turning in their cars, reweighing the, and finally turning them over, we were all busy. Karl set up the track and lights, I filled out paper work on each car, Isabella helped run the concession table and Anton was trying to keep the younger cub scouts from the track.
Anton seemed to have fun with his fellow Webelos even if his car did not win every race.
Isabella did break from the concession table to watch a few of her car's races in which she "smoked" the other sibling cars. Interestingly, her haphazard designs and construction seem to be her secret because she nearly always wins.
