On Your Mark, Get Set, Go!

On saturday, the boys had their first pine wood derby

experience.  They were so excited and really had

no clue what it was all about.  Here is Larry Denzil helping

them paint their cars.  Larry Denzil cheated and bought

the already cut kits at AC Moore.  This is what happens

when you procrastinate to the night before and don't really 

know what to design with your block of wood.

Here is their painted cars.  Larry named his

camo truck and Xander was calling his

speedy wheels.

Here the boys are checking their cars in.

Xander was so thrilled that his was exactly 5 ounces.

All the derby cars from pack 57.  I think everyone

did an amazing job.

Xander got to race first.  He won for

the tiger cubs.  He was smiling from ear to ear.

That is Xander's car in the lead.

Larry getting ready for his race.

Larry too went undefeated for the wolf pack.

And the winner is......

Here are the 3rd, 1st and 2nd place winners

overall.  Not bad for their very first pine wood derby.

Xander was a little unhappy because

Larry's car beat his.  He told me that Larry made his

car heavier. Just so you know, Larry and

Xander's cars were neck and neck

in their race, but it is all who wins

I suppose.

That is brotherly love for you.

I have some video, but I won't bore you with that.

I hope everyone had a marvelous weekend.
