Pinewood Derby 2011

This week was the Pinewood Derby for Scouts.  When Tim told me that he was building a car for Austin, I asked…”Well what about Jake?”  I couldn’t believe that Jake had actually outgrown the event…and is now to old to participate.  How sad! 

 

Austin’s “redesigned” car from from 2009 (when I cut it out with a hacksaw while Tim was in bed recovering) did quite well.  He won 3 races, and was eliminated by the boy who won the race (see bottom picture).
It was a fun day and even something I modeled in my 1st grade class as a writing assignment.  Love how life always fits into 1st grade!
