PineWood Derby

This is the race track Brandon with his "Blue Flammer" Car Brandon has really enjoyed participating in scouts. He has made some great new friends and learned a lot of neat stuff. Every year around March they have the Pinewood Derby. He really likes to think up ideas on what would be a fast, cool looking car. So he has totally designed his car the past 2 years, then Jeff & I help with cutting it out. He then gets to decide how much he wants to sand it and then paint it. I think he gets a lot more out of it this way since we aren't doing it all for him. Unfortunately his car wasn't the fastest. We are so proud of him and the good sportsmanship he showed to the other boys. Maybe next year will be his year! :)
