Derby Time!

Roy and D have worked very sort of hard preparing D's 1st pinewood derby car.  They found a design online that D liked and Roy felt confident he could do. They went one Saturday to D's scout leader's house to cut the car out.  They sanded, painted, added weights and whatever else good pinewood derby makers do.  Then today was the moment of truth!  I stayed home with the baby so we'll all live the moments through the pictures, okay?

Getting ready for his big debut!

I can only surmise that Roy handed the camera to D to take pictures.  I have no less than 16 race photos.  This is the best one.
I do believe that green blur in the lane closest to the camera is D's car.

The 4 fastest cars are going to District!

Overall, D took 4th.  He raced 4 times.  The first time he came 1st, then 4th, then 1st again then 2nd.  He's pretty excited that he gets to race at the district level!  Good job D!
