The scouts this year did a spaceship derby. This was Jared's first derby and Carter's third. They had lots of fun getting their ships ready. Carter picked orange for his color of course, and Jared wanted red. They say to let the boys do the work, and Allen follows this council. Probably out of laziness, but whatever, everyone is happy. The night was fun with 15 spaceships racing and lots of problems happening like ship not moving, going backwards or even falling apart. Neither of our boys won, but Allen and I felt we had won the grand prize. When Jared's ship continually fell apart, there was not one ounce of anger. He just laughed and picked it up. Any of you that know Jared, know this is a big deal for him and we were so proud. Carter's ship was doing pretty good. He was in the semi-finals against his younger cousin, Connor. As they got them ready, Carter tells me he hopes he doesn't win, because he wouldn't want to beat Connor. And as Connor's ship wins, Carter quietly pumps his arm and says "yes!". We all drove home with smiles on our faces.
