The Derby

We had our first Pinewood Derby.  It was a lot of work for Nick and Nate getting the car ready, but it was so much fun to actually race!  Nick was so excited, but a little nervous about the performance!  He designed his car with some red lightening stripes on the side and a red U on the top.  He also added a '13' for his uncle Brit! 

 Nick and his buddies- all ready to race!

It has been so much fun to be Nick's Den Leader.  It was such a good way to get a grip on the whole scouting thing, and I am going to miss it when I get released in a few weeks! ( Just got called to be Primary Chorister!)
I love how these two cars lined up- what's the chance!  Guess who won?!!
 They had the coolest race track.  It was all electronic and computerised and the boys got to race their cars at least 5 times.


Way to go boys!  You did it!  They took 3rd place!  It was a tight race.  We have at least 5 more years of this, so we do have time to improve our skills!
