This past Thursday was our Pinewood Derby. It was Jacob's first one and we were all very excited for him. Here are some before and after pictures.
Jacob and Kevin working on the car.
I know it looks like Kevin did all the work, but I promise, Jacob did some sanding:)

This is his "Magic Machine" car. As you can see, they also had to have a special case to carry it in. Both the boys were very excited about what they had made.
Here was the line up.
The race is on!!
Jacob and fellow scout, Easton, cheering on their cars!!!
I didn't get a picture of the end result, but Jacob ending up placing 3rd out of thirteen boys and it also got him a spot in the "District" Race at the end of March. Father and son had a great time and were very excited about the end result. Now, they are tweaking the car a bit to get ready for the big race.

Good job Jacob, I really love the box for the car. I think this looks like so much fun. I am excited for Dylan to get to do this next year.

Kevin's car (I mean Jacob's ;) turned out awesome! I always have to giggle because the dad's get just as into it, if not more than the boys! Josh is totally looking forward to doing this next year!
