Racing Cars

Our ward had a pinewood derby contest for everybody.  I don't think there are any cub scouts, so everybody gets a chance to make a car and race it.  Here are just a couple of pictures.


It is kind of hard to see, but Will is outside cutting the piece of wood into a car shaped piece of wood.  Unfortunately, we only have a little hand saw, so there wasn't that much he could really do.  The girls were stuck inside because of the storm and because I didn't want them bothering Will when he was trying to work; they just stood by the window and watched him.


Whitney's job was to paint the car.  She chose three colors for the three sides, not too complicated.


Then Rachel got the fun job of putting on stickers.  So our car wasn't too manly because it was covered with flower stickers.  Oh well.


Whitney showing off the finished product.  She was very proud of the car that we all made.  Megan and I just supervised, but that job is equally important.  And I know that Whitney is wearing no pants; that seems to be a common occurrence lately.


And at the pinewood derby.  For being such a small ward, we had a really good turnout.  It was probably the free dinner of navajo tacos that came with the event.  Our car didn't do very well because we didn't put on any weights or do anything special to it.  The girls didn't care, they were just so excited to see all the cars race down the track.  So it was really fun.
