This is a little old, but I have to go through the pictures and post the events that have happened. I have many pictures that I have to sift through. This was the final pinewood derby before the boys went into 11-year-old scouts. The last pinewood derby that I will ever do in our family. The boys have done pretty good over the years in Cub Scouts at their pinewood derby. I remember the very first year that we did it it was hard peeking out a design for their cars. I decided to have them pick out a matchbox car (because they had tons of them) that they liked and I help them create a design after that car. The cars that they picked over the years seem to do pretty good in the races. Plus, they always had good shape and design even if they did not make first place.
The pinewood derby races have been fun and we have had some good times building and racing cars. Now that I am the Cubmaster, I get to help many boys build and race their cars. Not to the extent of time that I spent with Ammon & Thomas, but I still get to participate. Hopefully the boys will remember building and racing their cars when they get older and have kids of their own.
