Pine Wood Derby...

This happened a few weeks before Spring Break, but I just realized that I hadn't posted about it.

Zach has been so excited about the famous Pine Wood Derby. We weren't sure our small Den could pull it off, but they did...and it was so fun!!



Building a car wasn't a first for Justin, but it has been a long time; and we didn't have many of the tools he needed. Zach was his cheering squad. I kept hearing "Great job Dad," "That looks great Dad," "That is exactly what I wanted!"



Watching Dad...



Painting...Orange, green stripes, and lightening down the side!



Drying...



The Finished product...



Ready to try it out. The kids got to race 3 races.





Zach's car took 3rd place in all three races! I have come to the conclusion after seeing most of the cars, that it really was a competition between Dads (except for the older scouts)...but that being said Zach had a great time making his car, and said he was "ok" when he didn't win.

Better luck next year!!
