Pinewood Derby

George and JD have been working on their pinewood derby car for a couple weeks.
The car has been in training.

We finally arrived at the race.

JD anxiously awaited the results. JD's car won all four of the heats he raced in but didn't have time's quite fast enough to win a tropy. George suspects foul play! It was a fun project. The boys are already working on improvements for next year's race.

International Night

JD's school had international night. We looked at displays about life in other countries and got our "passport" stamped as we visited.
The event really could have been renamed Asia night - since that seems to be the foreign population that is in the area.

This lady was from Syria and wrote JD's name in Arabic for him.

Art??

Since today was a holiday JD and I took a field trip.

We went downtown to see this piece of art. You go inside - kind of like a bounce house with no bounce.

When the light comes through the inside is super colorful.

I'm not sure who thought of this but we throught it was fun.

Children's Museum

If you ask JD on a school holiday where he wants to go he will almost always say, "THE CHILDREN'S MUSEUM."
I finally broke down and took him. The museum is fun because you can make things. . .

. . . and dig for dinosaur fossils. If clothes are available JD always wants to dress appropriately.

The temporary exhibit involved these dinosaurs. All things that little boys love!
