Pinewood Derby

It's official I have a scout in my household. I was raised not liking scouts so my testimony of scouting is coming. I see that there are actually good things that come from scouting. Just don't ask me to donate to "friends of scouting".
Jack had his first Pinewood Derby. It was fun and exciting. The Saturday before Ryan went to our ward members house and cut out the car. Then they spent the next few days sanding it and getting ready. On Wednesday, the day of the race, we were painting it and putting the wheels on at 4:45, the race started at 5. But it got done and Jack came in third place. He was a little bummed out because before the weigh in he was winning all of the races, probably because the car was overweight, and after the weigh in he couldn't win. It was a great lesson in sportsmanship and winning. Thank you to Jack's scout leaders, they are two wonderful women who are teaching my son valuable lessons.

I love the anticipation on Jack's face. He was so fun to watch.
