Pinewood Derby

Another year and another pinewood derby under our belts. I wish I had more pictures, but they just didn't turn out so well. However, here is Tyler's car in his second race. It's the one on the right. Sadly, he didn't win - but it's all about the experience. Right?

Allen and I decided if we ever have to do this again, it would be totally worth it to get some college kids who want to help and pay them for a winning car!


The biggest attraction for the little kids of course, was the pinewood derby cupcakes. For whatever reason, that I don't understand, the scout leaders put them out on a table at the beginning of the evening. All night, there were little kids that just couldn't stand it. They would take out the toppers of the cupcakes and lick the frosting off. Sometimes, they just put their fingers in the frosting and licked. Gross. Lesson learned, don't eat the cupcakes. However, Braden couldn't stand to be left out. At the end, he got a cupcake too.

Landon has been known to win pinewood derbies or at least come in second! He's always willing to help, since we don't have a boy!

Obviously that leader is a man or it is their first time working with men and children and don't know that you don't do things like that! ha ha
