The Pinewood Derby

The annual boy scout pinewood derby was this week. Austin and Lowell spent the week or so prior cutting, sanding, painting and decorating their car. It was cute to see them work together on a project. This is Austin with his finished car. He won the award for the "Most Aerodynamic Car." It was a sleek design that Austin created.

Ready, Set, Go! Austin's car is on the blue lane.

And He is the winner!

Austin placed first in his Wolf class and is off to regionals. Who knew that there was a pinewood derby regionals?!?!? We will keep you posted on the outcome of that day because there is no way that Austin will not be attending. We are reminded of it weekly at least. He is proud of his car and we were proud that we at least won one race but had no idea that we would be first. Lowell laughed at all the dads that said how much time and the techniques that went into their cars because there was no major game plan or strategy that went into theirs. Just goes to show that simple can be better!
