Aidan and I went to a kids conference where we practiced our Destination Imagination structure building skills. Our challenge was to build a structure using any or all of the materials available: masking tape, note cards (4), paper (6 ), straws (4) and stir sticks (4). We then measured our structure against how much weight it could hold.
Aidan came up with this design of a triangular shape braced by stir sticks and straws. It held a whopping 45 pounds!!!
This is Brandon’s trademark move… at the finish line jump he always does a no-footer. This kid’s got style.
Yesterday was race day at Del Valle MX. Aidan raced for the first time. He raced in the 51cc Sr Class. He did great and had a wonderful time. James only signed him up in one class but Aidan let him know several times that he would’ve been ok with more racing!
In between races, which for Aidan was hours, he only took off his helmet. He kept on all other gear so that he was always ready to go.
Despite getting to be so big, I love that he still holds my hand and wants to sit in my lap… I dread the day he grows out of that phase. When it does though, I’ll at least have pictures for proof.
