Paper Planes

Per Benjamin’s request, we embark on a new adventure- the family paper airplane race.

This is not your average competition, but has actually been in the works for months.

Each participant was responsible for his/her own design…
some took their paper airplane making a little more serious than others.

Some may have brought duct tape…

And we had a spectators!  (Well, there were a few more since we live on a main highway and it was something to see all the folks lined up with planes!)
 
So, this was my plane.  In my highschool years, I could make a plane with the best of them. …this plane didn’t do so well.
All lined up and ready to race!  Even Darby was having a great time…I’m not sure she cared it there were planes.
Ashamed.  That’s all I can say.  “The Mama” didn’t perform. 
That’s her, laying pathetically just feet from the start line. 
AND THEY ARE OFF!
Guess who won??!!??
I’ve been told the stickers, the folds, pretty much my entire design was a fail….amazing what you learn parenting a brood of boys!  (Though, now that I think about it, Jessa came in second!  She can hold her own!!)
