Build and Grow Workshop at Lowes

Today was a long day that I am going to put into two posts because we did a lot and I am tired and it is almost baby bed time. The first thing we did today was something that was introduced to me by Heather, her and her son, Tyler have been doing these workshops for a while but today was our first one. Every other Saturday Lowes has a build and grow workshop for little kids. It is free and all the materials are included plus they gave Chance an apron and a patch for completing his project. Today the project was a tabletop basketball hoop. When we first walked int eh room, Chance was a little overwhelmed because it was different and people were banging nails with hammers but as soon as I showed him the picture of what we would be building he got excited to build. The kit was pretty easy, I would hold the nails in place and Chance would hammer. At times I was scared for my fingers but Chance did a wonderful job and in the end he had a basketball hoop that even has a scoreboard built in. Chance likes to "find" the numbers by turning the wheel as much a shooting hoops I think.
He doesn't want to wear the apron but I will attach his patch and hang it in his room till our next workshop.
One of the other fun things about these workshops is every Lowes in the country builds the same thing so no matter where your friends are you are building the same thing as they are, like Tyler and his Mom, Heather are in Virginia but they built the same thing today, check them out here.
