C's First Pinewood Derby Car!

CJ was so excited about getting to build his first derby car. Us parents...we were a little nervous. WOW, I love the internet, we found all sorts of helpful hints about how to make your car and to WIN. Maybe a little too much info. This can be serious buisness. On the first car, Chris and I had to walk away just after two cuts, to calm ourselves down. ha ha
Here's CJ's finished product. He talked about it for days and days later. He had a blast. We didn't win, but that's okay we came in a close second. Chris is the cubmaster and was running the whole thing and I was helping, which means I didn't get a single picture at the event. We have a small group which was perfect since this was Chris' first time at having to run this event. I'd say one of the hightlights for the boys was when we had the "Suns" entry music playing as Chris called in each kid and announced them. It was so cute watching the boys pump their arms and jumping up and down as they were announced and the crowd was clapping. (We got the idea from a sister... thanks for your help.) It was good experience and CJ and Chris did a good job on the car. CJ has his car proudly set up on his shelf.
