The Derby...

It was so much fun to be able to help Tony Jr. make his first pinewood derby car. We shouldn't have waited until the day before to start it though. We didn't have the right glue to secure the weights. We had one moment of tears when we had the washer and a couple pennies go flying off during one of the races. Lesson learned, take your time and get the stuff you need. He did great though. He showed good sportsmanship and won 5 of his races. All in all it was a great time and fun for everyone!! So different to be able to enjoy the pinewood derby without being in charge of it. It really makes you appreciate those who put it together when it used to be me doing it. Great job scout leaders, it was a great race!
