Pinewood Derby Day: Everything A Life Lesson in Our House

Saturday.
Nicholas=High input, weeks of work.  The mostly blue car.
Ben=meh, whatever.  Although he liked learning to use the tools. The mostly red car.



Ben's car in in lane six there.
In the finals...
You'll notice the theme there with the winning cars--flat, rectangular, sparse, and when you look underneath--all the weight is in the back.
No clue how Ben's wound up in there with it's turret and mounted gun. 


2 Cub Scouts cars went on to the finals--both from our pack, Ben and his school buddy Kale.


When we told him that the finals was coming up, he said, "Cool.  Tell me if I win."  And then he took off for the Star Wars movie that was playing on the other side of the gym.

He didn't win, but his stinkin' half-thought car, came in 13 out of 75 raced that day.


Nick still pleased with his car.
