I love the advanced entries! As for the hobby entries -- I'm glad you noticed Kerm's flag. I teased him about putting a pirate flag on a Mars rover and he said, "Mom, it's now a US flag. I used permanent marker on it and everything!" :-) Thanks for sharing these entries and holding the contest, Alice. I love the advanced entries!
