Garage Creativity

Much like my Grandpa Miller's garage, Evelyn's Grandpa Luster's garage is filled with all sorts of wood scraps.  Combine that with a few golf balls, and Evelyn got the idea to make tracks and ramps.  The goal of her first ramp was to get the golf ball to fly into the bucket.
 It worked!  By tweaking a few things here and there, the ball bounced right into the bucket.
 Next up was building a mega track for a tennis ball.  The challenge with this contraption was making sure the angle of the ramp let the ball roll fast enough to make it to the end of the track, but not so fast that it knocked down the vertical pieces (none of this track is nailed or glued).  Success!
