Labor Day fun

So, to kill some time on Labor Day (since we didn't go anywhere), we took Kev's RC car out to run in the parking lot at church. I got the car kit for Kev for Christmas back in 2001 thinking it would be a fun thing for him to work on over the winter . . . he finished the whole thing in 3 days. Back then we were living in Redding, Ca, and there was so much rain that winter we couldn't take it out to run until it dried up a little so we put it away. Nine years and 3 moves later here it is, raring to go. Kev let each of the kids try it out and both did pretty well with the driving, and G only flipped it once! Not bad for her first try.

They were a little suspicious of it when Kev was driving it . . . "It's gonna get us, Mom!":

J had the most fun just chasing it around the parking lot, especially when Kev got it stuck in the bushes and the batteries ran out.

ETA: Last night we took it out with my Dad's car and ran them again. On the last run of the night (of course it was the last run . . . after that it didn't work anymore) Kev ran it into a divider post on the edge of the property and bent a steering rod. No more fun until he fixes it. Shouldn't take long compared to the 3 days it took to build. :)
