Pinewood Derby

Brandon did a great job with his car. Both boys went to Dax's Dad's workshop and cut out the shape of the car. They sanded it and painted it.
Of course, I could not imagine it to be any other color BUT orange :)

Flyers sticker on top and Brandon was good to go! Setting up

Watching

Results (funny how names of the boys rhymed - Brayden, Hayden, Jayden, Brandon :)

 I believe it is one of the times Brandon's car came first

 Award time

Bear den got trophy as fastest den, yay! (Jim, Dax, Brandon. Tucker, Ethan, Max's dad Trevor is in the back)

 Here is the baby!

Interesting how this child-parent event is tuned into parent event by some people. Some Dads who build/are carpenters for living could do absolutely crazy stuff with the cars to make them considerably faster. Micah's record was 0.53. Brandon's best time was 2.64.

In 9 heats he came once 4th, four times 2nd and four times first. So, although overall he was 10th out of 19 boys, he still felt good about himself - he did about 80% of his car by himself and did not lose wheels like last year :)

As always, good experience with scouts! Wonder what will be next year!
