Tyler's New Hobby

Tyler decided it would be fun to make a wood cabin out of popcicle sticks. He started out with a little 12 x 12 building... and started to remodel.

This is about 3 feet high, has 3 stories, and a garage. He used over 1000 popcicle sticks, a wood crate (he took apart) a cardboard box he cut up and a few pieces of 1/4 in wood he found.

He even remembered doors and windows.

Do you think he has a future as an architect?

FUN!!

the young men and young women in our ward decided to do something fun for their activity for the end of the summer. All 6 groups had to build a boat, it could be made out of anything you wanted as long as it only cost $35.00. All the boats were made (Kary's group- the teachers- built a 12 foot long, 4 foot high, pirate ship) the whole group headed out to Quail Resevoir to have a race and see who would float. Tyler's group tied a matress to some big foam blocks, and Matthew's group took a large sheet of plywood, cut two holes in the middle, put buckets in to sit in, then put big round pipes under the edges. It was an interesting sight when all the boats got to the water. Matthew helped build his boat, but he had football practice while the activity was going on so- Craig took his place on the boat. To make a long story short, the priests (Matthew's boat) won the race, Deacon's got second, then the girls after them. The pirate ship- it sank. But not before the boys had time to bomb the other ships with water balloons. All of the kids had fun.
