Ari is really enjoying Cub Scouts! Last Saturday he participated in his first Pine Wood Derby. He and Keenan spent quite a few hours getting his car ready even though they kept the design pretty simple. Youtube was a great resource! I wasn't planning on staying for the whole event, but it turned out to be pretty fun and exciting. Boys from 1st-5th grade from our school were matched up randomly by a computer system. Each car was raced 4 times getting 1 run on each of the lanes. Thanks to the computer system, the heats were decided down to the 1000th of a second - which in some cases was necessary! The Tiger Cubs (1st graders) did amazingly well for their first derby. One scout earned 3rd place overall for his design and another boy earned a track speed record and 4th place overall! Ari made it to the grand finale and placed 3rd among the Tiger Cubs based on his times! He and Keenan are already planning next year's design!
*Update on the cruise photos - after having my SD card looked at, it looks like we won't be recovering any pictures. They said it would be a "Stage 3 recovery" requiring a clean room, etc. and running about $500 :( I'm still waiting to hear back from Disney to see if they've found the one professional picture of all of us with Mickey I requested. Finger's crossed!

That derby looks so fun. Ari looks like such a big kid. I suppose that's how it goes.
Bummer about your photos. :(
Wow! How cool.
Fun! He looks so proud.
That is one proud, happy boy! Looks like a really fun time. As for the cruise photos, you and your folks will just have to go again so you can take more pictures, and a backup camera.
