Pinewood Derby

We had the pinewood Derby this week. It turned out to be a lot of fun! I made these little trophies for the kids to put their cars on. I thought they turned out really cute.Here I am in pure Cubmaster style! Christopher got 2nd place!! Way to go Buddy!
We asked the Dad's to make their own cars. There were only 3 days that brought them. Darin made an awesome tractor, with a driver and all. He is most definitely the creative one in our family!! He tried to make it slow- but it actually did pretty good especially after he added graphite.

All 7 of my scouts! They are great boys! We had a fun night.
For refreshments we had twinkies and then just put oreo cookies on as the wheels. They turned out really cute, I should have taken a picture.

Looking good Tayna, and the cars too! Christopher looks little to me in that picture. Way to go on the triphies and event. You're so fun!

Darin IS really creative! That fits him perfect. I guess it is all that time that he has to think, while he is in the tractor. Fun! The trophy stands are a good idea!

Wow--those trophies turned out cute!! I think the refreshment idea is cute too--tying it all together. The cars looks great--WHO would have thought to do a tractor?! Very creative... And look at you--gorgeous no matter what you're wearing. :)

Good job Tayna and Christopher and Darin! Your trophys were great. I love that Darin gets so creative. He has so much of mom in him sometimes. I guess we'll see you this weekend. We'll be up for Jordan's farewell. We don't have a plan. Nate's still got to figure it all out.

What a cute cubmaster! It looks like you had a great time at your pinewood derby. Ours is supposed to be tomorrow, but they are predicting snow, and if it snows here everything is cancelled. Makes me laugh!
