We have learned that Boy Scouts has the Pinewood Derby each year. Because we don't have the tools or skills, Pop said he would do help us out and make them!
After seeing all of the work he put in to them, I'm seeing that I probably couldn't have done it!
On Friday night, they had a trial run so we could weigh the cars, and see if we needed to make any adjustments.
At the practice C even got a chance to run the cars! He loved that!
Saturday afternoon was the real race. It was all very official, they weighed the cars and then only the Scouts could touch the cars.
It was interesting to see all of the different car constructions. Different shapes and sizes, different weight placement, etc. H already has some different ideas for how he would like his car to be next year.
He won a few rounds and lost a few, but was very happy with his participation trophy, and the fun of the race.
