Pinewood Derby 2016

This is Edison's last year for the Pinewood Derby in Cub Scouts since he will be crossing over into Boy Scouts next month.  He had fun designing his car, and you can see that it had a major color change during the painting phase.  At first he wanted to do a "cammo" theme, but when that didn't work out as planned, he went for a darker green.  He liked having the big screws on top of the car to act as guns and the duct tape was an added precaution just in case they decided to fly off during the race.  =)  The boys all ran a great race today!

Congrats, Edison!!!

Edison's Orchestra Concert

Edison had his 2nd orchestra concert last night.  The kids have come a long way since playing Twinkle Twinkle Little Star all together.  Now they are working on 3 part harmonies.  Edison enjoyed showing off his favorite song "Beethoven's 9th."  We can't wait to hear what they learn next!

Here are some video links to Edison practicing and his songs from last night's concert and some pictures, too.  Enjoy! (Unfortunately, the way Edison's chair was facing, his hand and cello covered his face, but we got to watch his hands hit all the notes as he played!)  =)
