Pine Wood Derby

Brody started boy scouts this year and he got to participate in his first pine wood derby tonight... He was super excited about the whole event and making his car. Josh let him draw on the wood block the design for his car and then he got to paint it whatever color he wanted after Josh had cut it out and sanded it down... Josh tried to get a little crazy with melting weights and lifting tires - whose pine wood derby car was this? :) They both had a great time making the car and Brody ended up with a 2nd place finish for the night. He started out undefeated but then lost twice to the boy that he had beat at the beginning of the bracket... There's always next year!

Brody and his car...


First race (he won this 2 out of 3 but eventually ended up losing to this car in the championship round...)


Second race (he won, but check out the cute iguana car he was racing against...)


Third Race (he won 2 out of 3)


Racing Brody's car against cousin Kolby's car (Reg had to call and taunt Josh immediately after this race when Kolby's car was the winner - nothing like some friendly competition... :)


2nd place medal...
