The same night as the Arrow of Light, was the Pinewood Derby. It was so much fun! Dillon spent a good portion of his Labor Day building these cars with the boys and they all had a lot of fun.
Carson’s was called the Silver Bullet and Devon’s was called the Deadly Dash.
Carson got to race first and came in 3rd—you race 4 times in a round and then if you get one of the top 6 scores you move to the next round.
Devon got first each time during the first round. But so did one other car :).
Dev’s is car 999. I believe Carson got 3,3,4,3. His weight fell off and thankfully we were able to get into the library and tape it back on. We did find out at the end that if he had raced backwards (which is allowed), he actually probably would have placed. Because he beat a couple really fast cars when he put his backwards. Bummer ;).
And, Devon placed 2nd overall! He was SO excited ! It was really cute watching his little celebration after he placed first each time the first round. And he was a close 2nd, so it was fun.
Great night for both these kiddos!
