Pretty much every night last week was consumed with something to do with the Pinewood Derby and Saturday was the big day. Peter being the cubmaster had a ton to do but he has great leaders that he works with and they were very helpful. It was also turned into a ward activity so there were going to be an unknown number of people in attendance. Peter being the amazing person he is handled it with style and grace. We had one tense moment where I did not think he should drill new holes in the track and he thought he should. He did in the end and I concede that it was the better choice. Oh, Peter you were right and I was wrong. (There written for all to see.)
The Outlaws
L to R: Bro. Webster's propelled mousetrap car that smoked everyone's in the end; Bishop Whites Millenial Falcon- Luke and Chewy have on ties and Chewy is hold a Book of Mormon; Bro. Dunstan's airplane car- he is a pilot.
The cubscout's cars with a few of the leaders cars. Perry the platypus is the primary president's Sister Ostermiller. The car just left of the one on the blue stand was the overall winner. It is the Weasley's flying car from Harry Potter. It was fast!
These are the other ward entries that for the most part followed all of the rules including weight limits and such. The missionaries cars are: Elder Kerbs is the truck that has a missionary on the hood of it because he was hit by it and Elder Duke has the batmobile.
These are our boys. Jon wanted one million on his car but settled for 500. Joey's was called the shark of the track. Jon had the second fastest car of the day (3rd if you count the mouse trap).
For refreshments we had a popcorn machine-like movie theatre style- and a cotton candy machine. It was buttery/salty heaven with spun sugar clouds. Delicious!
The stickiness to prove it. 
I never caught Joey's car going down the track but this is pretty good!
Jon's car is racing and you can see him running by the track.

We both had our cameras out and ready to take pictures. Arabella hopped up and ran out the door- the nursery was open across the hall with some toys out and a movie. She returned in just a few minutes and had her camera. She took pictures of the racing, us taking pictures, the treats, and other people. I love the posing but I really love her willingness to share and take turns. (The little boy is Corbin- Alisa's son.)
