Dad & Lad...Viking Night
Thursday night Bryan and I had a "Dad & Lad" Night...this one we tacked a theme to it...we called it "Viking Night."
Here's what we did...
-We went and ate lots of meat and potatoes for dinner (thanks KFC!)
-We then built a catapult. (A Viking type weapon??)
We found some plans online, downloaded them, we had most of the supplies already here...then we put it all together.
It was a great opportunity to teach Bryan about using power tools...he learned how to use a miter saw and a drill. He also learned how to use a speed square, chisel and tape measure.
Our conversation was great...talked about school, church, the Bible and Jesus. We had a great night together...and in the end made a groovy catapult. (We have to make a few adjustments to get better launching!)
I love my boy!

Looks like fun! Hope the Catapult works well!
