Pinewood Derby

A couple of weeks ago, O had his Pinewood Derby. He has been so excited about it, drawing the pattern, getting it cut out, and sanding and painting it. We let him draw his own design, and pick out the paint color/pattern. We talked to him ahead of time, and basically told him, that he wouldn't win, just to prepare him. Then when they started racing, he was consistently winning, with the exception of one other boy's car. We were all very pleasantly surprised. So, when it was all over and done with, O came in second place, for speed. Way to go!! Several of my older kids were just about as excited as the Cub Scouts.
Getting the car all weighed in. That is the top of P's head, watching, waiting till he's old enough. almost everytime O would work on his Derby car, P would ask/beg me if he could do/have one, and I just told him he had to wait until he turned 8:(

P talking to O's den leader. Probably asking her when he can have a car to race.

Watching the cars cross the finish line. (See I told you my older kids were just as excited as O.)

With his second place trophy!!!
