On a snowy February afternoon, we took a walk at the wildlife refuge. It wasn't very cold but it was scenic.
As we took one last trail to head back to our car, we came across a hawk sitting just above us. We stayed and watched and took pictures for probably 15 minutes or so, but it never flew away or even moved very much.
Rudy tried to distract it from below.
February also brought the Pinewood Derby with scouts.
Rudy's plan
The first cut made and now sanding.
The final shape.
The paint job.
The finished product.
Waiting for his race
First race
2nd place
Second race- second place
3rd race- 3rd place
He ended up coming in 6th out of 8- not too bad for a first attempt!
