Way to Go Cayden!!!

Last night was the Cub Scout Space Derby. We have worked on Cayden's rocket for the past week. I helped him paint it and then he painted NASA on one side. Duaine helped him put it together.

I wasn't scheduled to work yesterday but got called in to work for someone that was sick. When they called me they said I would be able to take a break during the time the Space Derby was at so I could watch Cayden race his rocket. Pack Meeting started late and so when I got there 15 minutes into Pack Meeting they were still handing out awards and hadn't started racing yet. Everyone was still tinkering with rockets when I had to leave so I wasn't able to see Cayden race his rocket. Cayden, Jared, and Duaine stopped by work after Pack Meeting to tell me how the derby went.

Cayden took first place in two heats and then second in two heats. His over all score was 14 so he won First Place. The picture above is of his rocket and his first place ribbon and certificate. The second place winner had an over all score of 13 and third place had an over all score of 12 so it was a close race. Cayden was rightfully so proud and very excited that he won. I am really glad he had a good time. I told him how proud and excited I am that he won.
