Sunday, Carter's cub scout pack had their Pinewood Derby! We made 2 cars; Carter made one and Emily and Casey entered one together in the siblings' race.
Carter won every. single. race. he participated in!!! Yea Carter!!!
His pack doesn't do an all around champion, just his tigers raced and the wolves raced each other, etc. But I'm sure Carter would have won that too!! His John Deere green and yellow car was awesome!!!!
Casey and Emily won all of their races too!!!
Here Al is adding some last minute graphite to make the wheels turn faster.
Here's the line up. Emily and Casey painted theirs orange with a pink racing stripe and Carter's obviously is the John Deere Green with the yellow racing stripe.
This race when Carter's car was in the lane next to the yellow fire truck was the closest race there was and he is still a good car length ahead!!!
Carter came over to us after a few races and said, "All I'm doing is winning."
Emily and Casey's car shot ahead of all the siblings' cars too!
This picture was taken the next day, but we NEEDED a picture of Al and the kids because he worked hard helping them! I neglected to make them pose on that afternoon, so I remedied it Monday night.
Checking the wheels even though we won all of our races...A great day and activity put on by the Boy Scouts!! We had fun working on the cars and racing them. We had fun letting Emily and Casey participate and we had fun watching!!!

How fun! I love that Al checked the wheels even after the car had won so many races - such a guy thing!
Congratulations, guys!!! What an accomplishment, especially for your first time building a pinewood car! Although, with all of Alan's resources and skill, I'm not surprised that your cars were so successful!

What a blast! This looks so fun.
