Kub Kar Building

This year Calum is old enough to participate in the annual Kub Kur Rally for Cubs!!  He is so excited!  He and Jared got to work looking for ideas on what shape to cut into their block of wood. Calum had grand ideas of objects from the Legend of Zelda game that Jared had to gently talk him out of saying it would be impossible to cut those from the block of wood they had!!!  Jared suggested the shape of the electric guitar he got for Christmas and Calum readily agreed!!  Jared drew the design on the block of wood and together they went out to the shop to cut and sand it!

After the sanding came the painting, Calum chose to paint the body of the guitar orange and the neck brown!  Calum was very meticulous with his painting and did a great job!

Finally the trial race at the Church came and Calum had fun racing against his friends!  His car wasn't the fastest but he was loving every minute of it!  After the races were all done, a friend suggested Calum turn his car around and race it backwards, keeping all the weight in the back.  So he tried it and it turned out to be much faster, neck and neck with Blake's car whose was the fastest!!  Too bad we didn't think of that for the actual races!  Oh well, the Stake Kub Kar Rally is still to come and he will race it the fast way that day! 

He had so much fun with his Dad building this car!  Armin was quite put out that he didn't get to build one but his time will come and for now I'm glad Calum had this time with his dad!
