Pinewood Derby Perfection!!

Since Karden has turned 8 and become a Scout- One of the things Ryan has been looking forward too and I have been dreading Looking forward too as well is the Pinewood Derby!!

Karden decided he wanted his to look like a Wii remote.

So Ryan Cut it out and we made Karden sand and sand and sand his car. He then had to spray paint it and glue on all the buttons.

Ryan had heard that if you put graphite on the wheels it will make the car faster so we had a slight problem when Ryan didn't realize that graphite is a powder instead of a liquid like he thought.... We had a HUGE mess and Karden had to spray paint the wii remote for a second time-

The night of the pinewood derby Karden (and Ryan) was so excited!!!

Each Boy got to race 4 times.

Karden did pretty good in his heats

and everyone was having a ball watching the races!!

Karden loved that he got to race with all his friends!!

Karden got the award of the most original car!! He was SOOOO excited.

I have to admit it wasn't as bad as I had expected!! I am just thankful that Ryan Loves Scouts!! :)

We ended the night with ice cream to celebrate!!

Some of us may have been celebrating how much fun we had, others that it was over!!
