J-dogs 8th grade Catapult Project

Cute Jordan is such a good kid. We had bought, what I thought was an expensive, catapult kit ($40 seemed outrageous for a craft kit.) Jordan so diligently assembled the kit (this took hours) only to find out that the Trebuchet (French for sling shot) would only launch a little tiny wooden ball and he was suppose to be launching a golf ball. When Dad saw his dilemma, he stepped in and saved the day. I love how Dad's do that.They gathered some 2x4s and some other odd and ends and managed to make a pretty fierce catapult. The cool thing was, was that Jordan had designed it himself, on a piece of paper, and then the two of them went out and built it.Putting the finishing touches on. It won't win the "Most Attractive" award, but boy can it launch. Power Baby! Way to go Jord!!
