Inside The Pinewood Derby

I am so proud of my son JJ and my husband Chris. JJ has been in scouting for four years now and is a Weebelo.

 

One more year of Weebelo and he will be a Boy Scout.

Time just escapes me. Seems like yesterday he was a little Tiger just starting out. So cute.

 

 And for my hubby, he is the Cub Master for the Pack. He is such a good daddy. Such a strong man of character. I appreciate him so much.

 

Well now that I am done bragging, here are a few pics from the famous Pinewood Derby for those of you who are familiar with scouting. A yearly event since 1955 I believe.

 

There are the cars...so carefully built with love and anticipation.
I really think the dads do most of the building though hee hee.  I tried to get a pic of them in action but my camera was not cooperating.

 

Waiting for the big race to start. My hub and JJ.

 

 

 

JJ's car is in the first slot. And the winner is.........

 

 

Second place in his class. Not too bad. But really, he needs a hair cut. He was super proud.

 

It was a really fun afternoon....watching all the little boys bounce off the walls with excitement.
