Pinewood Derby

We have arrived at a new point in our lives. Tyler is now participating in the pinewood derby. It took us a couple of weeks from start to finish to do this car and we had all sorts of help. First, Ty chose a design and we cut it out.

Of course it had to be sanded - and that took a lot of work.

Tyler primed it and painted it and put stickers on it

The night of the derby arrived - this past wednesday the 27th. The gym was all set up. Lots of weighing of cars and adjusting. Putting on and taking off weights.

I think Tyler was pretty nervous

Is it going to make it down the track?

IT DID! Hooray! Ty did an excellent job on his car. He came in second a couple of times and even first once. He wasn't the overall winner, but he did such a great job and we were proud of him!

Here are a few pictures of how the finished car came out.
