How Exciting - Our First Pinewood Derby!!
The kids all did a great job on their cars. And, the parents did a great job putting together the track and setting up and making sure everyone had a good time. There was even a computer program to keep track of heats and winners, and also to ensure that all cars raced in each lane to make sure it was fair. It was very nice, laid back yet exciting, and lots of fun!
Owen and our neighbour, Alex, won 2 of the top 3 positions and even got trophies! A big thanks to them too for helping us out with tools since we didn't bring many. Alex is in Webelos and got 2nd place in his group as well as 2nd place overall. Owen is in Bears and got 1st place in his group and 3rd place overall.

| Even after taking multiple pictures, this one is the best. They were in a hurry to get to race for fun - no time to pose! |
Poor Brian didn't get to go - don't feel too bad for him though, he is in the US spending time with his parents, sister and Deuce. It is sad that he couldn't be here for this, but I am glad that he is getting to see family and pick up some shopping to bring back!! He'll have to be here next year though because he's already been signed up to help!
Here is a video of one of the heats:
