Pinewood Derby

We had our Pack Derby and the District Derby Saturday. Let me tell you, I stressed and stressed and stressed over this car. Ian actually started on different one a couple of months back but it wasn't coming along like he wanted it to. We didn't have anything to cut out the pattern with so we tried to find a simple pattern that would be easy to do. After several ideas and starting over with a new kit, we finally ended up with this.

A Wii remote. How cool is that?! I found the idea online ONE DAY BEFORE the derby. Told you I was stressing this car.

This is a shot of all my Scout's cars. They all did a great job. I can't wait to see what they come up with next year. We had 3 out of five cars win some kind of District award. The #24 car won Coolest Paint. The Alabama car(2nd from the right) won Best Team Spirit and also won 2nd place in the Bear Division race. And Todd's won 1st place in the Bear Division race. We were so shocked. We had no idea it would do so well. Especially since he came in 3rd in our pack race. We didn't even have time to add any weight to it. His car also won Most Original in our Pack.

Here's my guy with his 1st place trophy and other awards. YAY, TODD!!!!! Woohoo!!!! I'm not a proud mama or anything. :o)
