Snap Circuits

Today, I decided to use my Snap Circuits. They are an electronic toy that allows you to make circuits with little pieces.

Here is the first one I made. Turn the switch, and it lights up.

Then align the mirror, and it beeps.

Here are all of the pieces needed. (And yes, I filled every space perfectly.)

Here is the next one. I programmed it to say "Trevor deRosier".

The 3rd one spins and lights up on a beat.

Unfortunately, I did not get pictures of the 4th one I made, but you can see a little of it in the bottom left of the next picture.

Of course, whenever you have something fun, there is always a mess.

I love Snap Circuits. The 4 sets I have, which are not all that there are, are 3D Illumination, Arcade, Light, and Extreme in that order.

My Boy Scout Cooking Competition

On Wednesday, October 25, 2017, we had a great Boy Scout Cook-Off. One patrol made Mexican food, and one made Italian. We got Mexican, so we decided to make nachos. The trick, however, was trying to incorporate the secret ingredient, pickles, into our dish. First, we started with lots of bags, lots of groceries, and lots of scouts.

Ben and I are grating the cheese.

I was in charge of making the salsa. Collin taught me how to cut green onions.

Here is the completed salsa. It was delicious! We put in pickles, tomatoes, cilantro, and green onions.

Here is our completed dish with the salsa on top.

The other patrol made stuffed pickles.

The cooking competition was very fun. The results were close, but the visiting Cub Scouts voted us the winners!

The Great Minifig Mix-Up!

It is time for the Great Minifig Mix-Up! That is where I take 20 minifigs and mix them up! I have broken them into head, body, and legs, and their bodies will stay where they are so it is easy to identify what they used to be. A few will be chosen as "Best of Show".

Here are all of the broken up minifigs:

And here are the mix-ups:

                                  1                             2                                  3                         4
