We survived our first Pine Wood Derby. It was a ball. It was so fun to see what all boys were able to do with a block of wood. Jared had a good time working with Darrin on it. They found this cool wrap for the car so they didn't have to paint it. It looked awesome.
As you can tell Drew has very excited for the race. He wore this outfit for three days. They even had Drew "the Speedster" come to the microphone to give all the racers advice. Drew being the shy child he is just said "Yes" when they asked him if he had any advice for the racers. So cute.
Caleb loved watching the races.
He kept getting too close and he had to pull him back.
Jared and the other scouts watching the race.
Jared waiting for the race to start. His car was the American flag one. The car on the far right was a Popsicle. They even put a stick on it. It was very creative.
Jared had fun. He didn't have the fastest car, but did come in second once. It is nice to have your first pine wood derby done. You can learn new tricks every year. We are already excited for next year.

How fun! Where do you get stuff to make a pine wood derby car? I don't remember my brother ever participating in such things. Is this a new church activity? Your post is like the 4th one I've read about the great pine wood derby races.
My favorite part was Drew in his racing outfit. Go Drew the speedster!
Wow! You bring back such fun memories for us! His car looked aweseome!!!!!!!!!! You'll have many years of making cars - save them all!!!!
Way to go Jared. Looks like a fun Pinewood Derby! I can't believe how much Jared looks like Darrin! How fun!
