This year was our first official Pinewood Derby!
Joey has been planning what he wanted his car to be for months (like since last year's pinewood derby).
Our ward has 3 categories: 1.cub scout class- official rules must be followed and only scouts race
2. open class- anyone in the ward can participate and it should follow the official rules
3. outlaws- this is for the cars that weigh too much, too tall, have mouse traps powering them, etc.
It is great fun and there is a popcorn machine- yummy!
What I love about Joey is that he did not really care if he won he just really wanted his car to the be the Shark-zord from Power Rangers. And what I love about Peter is he made Joey's wishes come true while still making it a pretty fast car. They did make it together and everyone was happy.
Joey won Best in Show!
Arabella was so excited to have her very own pink (of course) car and participate t his year.
I have a better picture of the cars I will post. Arabella's had 3 carved steps and a red carpet running down it and a barbie shoe attached to one of the stairs (like Cinderella). The shoe could not be on the top step because that is where the ball was (you know where they were dancing).
Jon did not care as much what his looked like but he did want a cool fast car. Peter got a few new tools recently and he just had to use them for this and Jon's was the best one for the job. It was a wavy, curvy shape with a shark on the back end. There was the upper half of a lego man attached to a foam cut out of a surfboard shape with a "bite taken out of it" and red nail polish spilling over the edge to be blood. Yes, a man trying to get a way from the shark that just ate his legs.
They cub scouts raced in the open class races but were not allowed to place again so in the end Jon took 1st and Arabella took 2nd. She is so proud of that trophy! It was a great event and I am glad it is over until next year! Peter I love you and your willingness to make our kids so very happy!
The pictures below are the ones I promised to post.
Check out Sister Ostermiller's awesome high heel shoe- pink sparkly- it was a name brand and looked oh so stylish going down the track.
Jon's lego man fell off but these are the great cars of the 2012 Pinewood Derby.
