More January 29—“The Dinewood Derby” or “You can help with the fun stuff”

Last Saturday was the annual Cub Scout Pinewood Derby.  This derby was for everyone, not just the scouts.  Dave and Ian decided to bang out a car and see how they would do.  Dave spent the week drilling holes for weight, sanding axels, rubbing graphite on the wheels, and spray painting.  Ian offered up advice and helped with the “fun stuff.”

On the day of the race our USU “Big Blue” race car took 1st in the children under 8 category and made a fair showing in the all-around category.

Miles was fascinated with the whole thing and began making plans for next year.  He has decided he will win the “Dinewood Derby” with his tractor race car next year.

I LOVE the missing teeth! How big is he getting? I cannot wait to see you and the boys tomorrow. Oh, did the tooth fairy find your house?
