Yeah I think this is .going to be at least as much fun for me as it will be for Cade. As I realized once today already I need to "supervise" more rather than just doing it myself with Cade watching.

Seth you're right about being me living in the right place for solid cars. I grew up a bit east of you in Illinois and still go back there at least once a year. Every time I see a car or truck back there rusted up to the tops of the fenders and holes you could put your fist thru it reminds me of part of the reason I live here.

After working with Cade this morning I also got to spend some quality time with my other Grandson Austin this afternoon when he and his mom came over to pick Cade up. I had picked up a wood model car kit at the local lumber yard a while back. Just some simple wood blocks with pre drilled holes and a hand full of nails top put it together with. Austin and I had painted a while back so this afternoon he got to assemble it.

He even got a hand from his older brother........watching those 2 work together always brings a smile to this old mans face.

The car has one of those little spring motors in where you drag it backwards and let it go and it takes off across the floor.

As Austin explained it to his Sister......."you pull it back and then let it go and it runs till it crashes"

I love Austin, but for some reason I see a lot of broken parts in his future
