PineWood Derby

I know March is all about College Ball but for some its about the Pinewood Derby. I am a Wolf Leader in our ward and little did I know (ok I know nothing about scouts) how important and sometimes serious this Derby stuff is. There are rules and weighin's. I am glad that I have a couple of years until my boys start but at least I know what is going on now.
Chandler and Deegan so badly wanted to make a car so for family home evening we had our own derby night.
I got .85 c cars from Walmart that we all painted then we raced them.


Chandler's colorful car


Mom's pink and purple swirls



Beckhams little tiger


Dad's police car
Deegan's many colors


The track duct taped to our table


All the cars lined up ready to go
Mom's toes for the finish line

And they are off.





Pile up on the track.
The boys loved it and had lots of fun. I just know they will love the real thing and I am sure it will be competitive at our house with these silly boys:)

Alex is ridiculously excited about our ward's derby race for the Elder's Quorum. Yes...the ELDER'S quorum does it separate from the young men.
