Pinewood Derby and other Alden pictures


The kids all love playing at Grandpa Brad's. He has the funnest trees to play in. I can never get my pictures in the order I want them to appear but here they are anyway. In this first picture Grandpa helped Alden climb on the roof to get a ball down that got stuck. He had fun getting up but coming down was just a little bit more intimidating. Good thing he has a big, strong grandpa to help him out.

In the next picture Alden has just jumped out of the tree while holding onto the swing. He started up where Dallin is. The think they have to be dare-devils or something crazy like that I guess.
Alden loves to climb. He climbs on anything, including things he shouldn't be climbing on like doorways and furniture. He loves to climb grandpa's tree, though, and can get pretty high up too.





Last Saturday we had our wards pinewood derby. Alden got an award for the most aerodynamic- looking car. He had a great time working on it with his dad and while he wasn't in the top five he did pretty good and probably ended up in the top 8. Scott showed him one of his old cars from when he was in scouts that had won third place and so Alden wanted to copy the design.





We have a ton of scouts! I am the wolf leader and we have 14 boys in my group. They all had fun though and did a great job cheering each other on. I was very proud of them. We have a great cub master too which makes things very nice.





Alden and the other boys had fun racing after it was over. The younger kids had fun with it too. Ryker came to watch with Grandpa Steve and he seemed to really enjoy it. Alden will be recieving his wolf badge at the next pack meeting we have and he is so excited about that. He really likes scouts and hopefully it won't scar him too much that he had to have his mom be the den mother. :)
