Pinewood Derby!

We had our ward pinewood derby on Tuesday night. We had to be there a little early to get your car weighed, names, and given a number. The cars had to weight a certain amount so the leaders had pennies that we could tape on to make them weight the right amount. Chris and Noah are below getting his car taped up with pennies so that it would be ready to race. There is a couple in the ward who helped the boys carve out their cars. Then at a scout meeting they painted and decorated their cars. This was Noah's 1st year because our ward back home didn't do one last year. Noah had so much fun and worked really hard on his car. He just loves being a scout.

Below is a picture of Noah with his car after he won 1st place. He did awesome. His car was really fast. Each boy got to race his car a bunch of times. Noah won 1st place twice, second place twice, 3rd place once, and fourth place a few times. Some of the boys obviously have fathers and brothers who have done this before because they had awesome cars. We learned a lot about what to do with Noah's car next year. Here is Noah going to the end of the track to watch his car. He loved this activity. All the boys had a blast. We are so blessed to have such a great ward.
