pinewood derby

A few weeks ago it was the Pinewood Derby for our boys. They both worked really hard on their cars. We weren't really sure who would win.

Usually Noah goes for coolest car. Last year his car was a shark. The year before that it was a pterodactyl. I'm not even sure if that is how you spell it. Anyway they were cool. This year he decided he wanted to go for sleekness and speed.

This year was Jacob's first year doing the pinewood derby. He was very excited. He also wanted to go for speed. So we had two very sleek cars.

It was really hard to find a spot to put the weights on with the boys designs but they figured it out and had to add a few quarters at the end to make them even heavier.

I have added some pics from the night. I big thank you to my mom who actually brought her camera. These pictures are in no order whatsoever. I'm just happy they are on here. :)
This is Jacob accepting his award for most aerodynamic car. Noah's award was the green machine award. His car is very green. It's called the mamba. after the snake. Or something like that.
Here is Abby with her pack meeting friend Jane. They really enjoy each other. The funny thing is that Jane's family lived in the house we are in before we did. So Abby actually sleeps in the same spot in the same room that Jane did.

In this picture you can see Jacob watching the race. He is the one with his head in his hands. Also in the picture is Grandpa watching the scene and Dave as always on his phone. We sort of only paid attention when the boys cars were racing.
In this pic Noah is right in the middle watching the race. He's the one with the blue shirt on under his scout shirt.
The cars are getting lined up. Jacobs is the orange one at the very top. It has flames on the side. Noah's is the green one with yellow wheels. They were both pretty cool.
Here is Sydney trying to endure the pinewood derby. She has on Jacob's fishing hat. She has her own sense of style. We sure love her.
Here we are waiting for something to happen. Abby, Noah, Dave and Grandpa. It was a fun night.
Who won do you ask? Neither of our cars, but we did place 6th and 7th. Right next to each other. Whose car was faster? Jacob's was. We know this because when they raced each other Jacob's won which is what bumped him to 6th. I think they both did great!! Wonder what the boys will do for next year?
