We had a much needed boost for two of our Tonys last night...well, I guess this story involves all three Tonys! Tonys 2 and 3 worked on a Cub Scout Derby boat for a few evenings this week. They painted and decorated and painted some more and came up with a pirate ship design. Last night, Tonys 1 and 3 attended the Pack meeting and were ready to roll...or should I say float?
Tony's boat's first test came against the members of his den...There was a tricky moment when Gage's boat fell to the side and blocked Tony's boat. Tony simply stopped his portable fan so that Gage's boat wouldn't go over the finish line first. Good thinking, Tony! Tony's happy little pirate boat sailed to first place for his den. Tony 1 said the excitement was great and so much fun. When Tony was winning the races, his Pop-Pop was right there, cheering him on.
Then Tony had to race against the other dens' winners. He progressed to the last race...and he won! He came in first place for the entire pack. Tony 1 said he was thrilled, especially when everybody was yelling "Tony! Tony! Tony!" Come to think of it, I don't think I ever saw the two of them so excited.
I told them that it must have been Green Pepper's Viking ancestry that had an influence on the win. I reasoned this because our Pinewood Derby cars and rockets always seem to lose parts in the midst of the action. Well, I guess the boat followed through a bit because some of its paint came off in the water!
Way to go, Tony, Tony and Tony!
