Pinewood Derby

We just went to our last Pinewood Derby! No more weigh ins, no more last minute paint jobs, no more hands covered in graphite.

R has had quite the Derby career though.  In the three derbys he has attended he has won 1st place twice, and second once.

This is the year he took second. He was happy about it.

Acutally, he really was.



The Elders came and were the judges. We tried to buy them off, but with no luck.

Turns out, we didn't need it.

One neat thing they do here in Worland, is an open class division.  Anyone who wants can enter this race. This includes siblings and fathers.  S decided to enter, and won third.



My sister often blogs about the funky things that happen in her rural community. I wonder if the winners of the Pinewood Derby make the paper like they do here.
