High way to the Derby Zone!

This year is Ethan's first Pinewood Derby. He has been so excited for it. BUt the sad thing is that he got 4th place in every race and he didnt place at all in the finals. BUT he was okay with that because we will make one that totally rocks the house and they will have to have a fast action camera to capture his pure awesomeness.

Well the photos are pretty self explanatory. But I will let you know what is going on for those who not understand ;)

Ethan making his Car.

The first place winner over the WHOLE thing. It is his first year and he did awesome! He even beat his 12 year old brother in the race. He was pretty excited about it too.


The Manly race. LOL They let anyone and their dog race. We had some outlandish looking ones. Hey those with kids do you know who the car is supposed to be in the first square on the top? It was awesome because they would chant that name when he was racing. Sorry Seth but I didnt make you look like a goof in the picture. I think its a male southern thing. ;)

Ethan with the car and his "award" for just being there. And the track.

Most of the scouts with their cars.

Go Agent-P!!!!! We <3 Perry the Platypus :P

When my brothers did the Pinewood Derby I remember the precise weight requirements. Every car was weighed before each heat to ensure it met the guidelines. Someday when my girls are a bit older I want to get them kits and we'll do it for a family night or something. Pinewood derby rocks!

Hmmm, I guess I must not be up with the times. I have no idea who Perry Platypus is. But those sure were cute pictures! When did my baby boy grow up? Tell him congrats on 4th place and that Aunt Jenny is proud of his awesome looking car!
