Pinewood Derby 2016

Tyler had his annual Pinewood Derby tonight for Scouts.  He was so excited to see how his car would race.  It was a little too heavy so Tony had to sand it down just a little bit before the race.

After all the racing Tyler's car made it to the final four.  Here are the top four challengers.  Tyler, Terran, Sam, and Parker.

Before the final race they had the kids go to their "pit crew" and have them look over the cars before the final race.  Tony was Tyler's pit crew of course.

This is Tyler explaining his design on his car.  I let him paint it all himself (that was very hard for me).  He painted some wiggly lines and a cyclone on the top.  He said that they were for speed and strength.

Tyler got 3rd place out of 12 cars.  We are so proud of him.  Tony said his goal was just for the car to make to the end, so we were super excited to see it do so well.

Mama's little car makers.  Couldn't be more proud!
