The Pit Crew

We are the last minute, throw it togethe,r get online and figure out all the secrets to the little scout derby's.   We never win best looking, most real to life or any other award!    Most of the time Dan doesn't even participate in the construction of these rockets or cars.   But, when it comes to the actually race Dan is all business.   Jake sanded and painted his rocket all by himself and then him and I glued it together.   The night of the big race it was him and I alone for the first round and we failed miserably.   Dan had a welding night with his own scouts and so he was late.   When he got their Jake was on deck.   The three of them rearranged a few things added the secret winning potion.  (If you want to know you will have to call me.)   They won!   The next three races Jake won which put him back into the winners circle.   He lost the last round by just a hair.   It was a fun night.   I often wonder if activities like this are really necessary?    Then I look at photos like this and know that memories like this are priceless.
