Makahiki 2012

Since Spencer is the scoutmaster for our ward, we get to go to lots of scouting things. The Makahiki is one of them. It's a big pow-wow thing; the cub scouts do the final races for the Pinewood Derby, and each troop has a booth with games or activities. The weather was perfect for it. It was warm and sunny, but not too warm and we had a nice cool trade wind blowing through to keep us comfortable.

Aidan's car didn't win any races at the Pinewood Derby, but it was close. Not too bad for his very first year!

Our troop had a hula hoop contest. I think the winner did it for over and hour and a half straight. Spencer used to be amazing at it; he once did it for over two hours straight and actually won a prize for it when he worked at Stouffer's. I guess he's lost that skill in his old age, 'cause he can't do it anymore.

The troop next to ours had this cool tightrope thing and all the boys were walking it. Aidan was pretty scared at first and I figured he wouldn't go, but then he just ran up the ladder and did it. We were so proud of him, because it's not often he will try to do something that he is afraid of.
