Pinewood Derby

Carson was SO SO excited that he got to participate in his first Pinewood Derby.  But the best part was when we purchased the kit.  We got back into the car, he opened it up, and I hear from the back seat, “What the…Mom!  It’s just a block of wood!”  Well, he soon learned that designing your own car was tons of fun!  So he designed it and Dillon cut it out, and they both painted it.  Sadly, Dillon got the stuff it said on the paper, that would make the car go faster, only he didn’t know the kind he got was liquid rather than powder, so it seized the wheels and Carson’s car was last every time…but not by too much.  It was only out of four cars, so it was pretty cute though when people would ask him how he did and he’d just excitedly tell them, “Great!  I got fourth place!”  So funny.
