Vrrrrrooooommmmm!!!!

So the Cub Scout Pinewood Derby race last week was a blast. There were over 20 cars racing, three at a time, in probably over 15 heats. Jake's pack was using a brand new race track this year- about 30 feet long! It is all electronic, hooked up to a special race computer program that displays heats, racers, car names, and race times on a big overhead screen. It's just awesome. The scouts raced their cars first. Then, the siblings got to race their cars. Even though paint held high importance over design in this house, Jake's "Gold Bomb" ended up leaving all of the other Bear Cub cars in the dust!! haha No kidding. He won first place for fastest Bear Cub car out of probably 7-8. Ally's car, "Flower Power", while probably the prettiest car on the track, wasn't all that fast. That's ok though, Ally was very supportive of her brother's win and just happy to be there in general. Overall, the day was very fun. Next up...wooden sailboats for the Rain gutter Regatta in the spring. Tim...come home!!!
