The Cubanapolis!

In September, the Cub Scouts had their Cubanapolis. The boys worked ahead of time with their dads, making & accesorizing cars out of card board boxes. Siblings could participate, so Devin got to join in the fun, too! Both Zach and Devin's cars turned out very cool! Zach liked the making of the cars far more than the race at pack meeting.





On the night of the race, the boys had to run a LONG course, stopping each lap for "pit stops." Family members served as their "crews" and washed their windows (faces with sponges), changed their tires (took off shoes, switched socks, and put shoes back on), and refilled their fuel (water to be drunk through a tiny straw).





Here's Devin and his friends in the sibling race.

(Sorry these pictures are so small, but it would take more time than I have to upload them all again. Remember you can click on any you want to see bigger.....)

I've never heard of a cubanapolis before, but it sounds like so much fun! I wish I were still the cubmaster in our ward! What a great idea!
