Snow tunnel

We had a snow day today!  The wind blows something fierce out here so school was canceled due to snow drifts everywhere.  We all enjoyed a day at home. Trevin braved the wind to build a snow tunnel.  He kept saying, "I just want to take a nap in there.  It's SO quiet." :)

Unfortunately the tunnel eventually collapsed which brought tears to this cute little guy.

LOVE that blue sky!

Pinewood Derby 2013

It's that time of year again.....we're off to the races!

There were so many cool cars!  

And an equal amount of cute Cub Scouters.

The results weren't quite what he was hoping for, 

but I was so proud of his good attitude...

and he had a fun time despite not winning. :)

(Just one more year of this...)
