Pinewood Derby

Evan has joined the Boy Scouts. He has had a great time meeting with his wonderful leaders and friends. One of the main events in Scouts is the Pinewood Derby.

It's hard for a six year old to participate in every part of the car building, but I was determined! After John did some research on car design and weight (and all the stuff I would have never thought to do), they we about designing. Sweet John, being the amazing dad he is, gave Evan FULL reign to put whatever he wanted on the car. Evan wanted it green with racing stripes. He even put a design on the top with the number 6 because "I'm six years old!". :)

During the races, Evan's car came in second twice and third  another time. While that didn't qualify him to move on (which we were completely okay with!), he still had a blast!
