Pinewood Derby

Collin made his first Pinewood Derby. We borrowed the movie "Down and Derby" to prepare for the big event. It was hillarious. Dad and Collin shaped his car and made sure it weighed enough and that there was graphite on the wheels. I helped with some of the painting, but Collin did most of it. His car was shaped sort of like a shark and was supposed to be the shark Pokemon - Sharpedo. His car was in 6th place overall. There were about 25 to 30 boys who participated. Our Bishop's boy - Jake - was in 1st place. He had rented a track so he could try out Jake's car and have some practice runs with his other cousins. We just laugh because that is what the dads did in the movie "Down and Derby". I think our Bishop is a little competitive. All the siblings of the scouts enjoyed sitting right next to the track watching the cars go by. Caleb was one of those as you can see. He can't wait to be a cub scout in a few years.
