Blasting off

  For Cub Scouts, Jake was to take a "space derby kit" and turn it into what he wanted to use to compete in a race against other created "rockets".  So, Jake designed his rocket on paper so he and Dad could be on the same page. 
   Then, they headed out to the power tools to speed up the sanding process.  After glueing pieces together, Jake set out to the task of painting his "Shark Rocket".  He added some stickers (see if you can figure any of the represented numbers...42, 38, 5, 7).  And he flew his rocket at Cub Scouts. 
   It did well in its heat...placing second.  And Jake was proud of his work.  (Now he's ready to do a pine derby car!)
