Pinewood Derby 2013

It is that time of the year when Peter gets to use all of his fun tools to help the kids create awesome looking cars!
We went Pokemon themed this year with the boys.  
Jon went straight forward and did Picachu.  He painted the face and the details.
Joey wanted Onyx who is a rock type Pokemon.  It is a snake like creature that is made out of boulders. Joey carved small styrofoam balls to form Onyx and helped cut out, sand, paint, etc the car. He did a great job! The boys both said they did not really care if it was fast they just wanted it to look cool.  Peter was thrilled because he did not feel the need to spend a ton of time working on the axles and the wheels. 
Arabella wanted a girlie car and that is what she got. It was three Minnie Mouse inspired bows. Purple with pink shiny/metallic puff paint dots.
 The wonderful thing is that Joey won! He was SO EXCITED!
 Jon is striking a Picachu pose and face.  Peter helped set up the track and ran the timing system.  He always does a great job with all things scouting!
The amazing cars (and Lily in the background to prove she was there).
