Pinewood Derby

 Adam has been so excited about the Pinewood Derby.  When the Primary Presidency came to talk to him about turning 8 one if his first questions was about when the pinewood derby was.  He and his Dad have been working on his car the past week.  Adam drew up his vision and his Dad was able to cut out his car and make it a reality right down to the tail fin!!  Adam and I visited the Boy Scout Office and found lots of stickers and other novelties to make your cars run and look their best.  Did you know that they had colored wheels?  As you can see Adam picked red :)  
 Adam was ready to weigh in and race when he woke up this morning.  Having to wait until 6:30 was a tall task!  Dadam, Adam, Addison and Nanee headed to the church to watch the races and cheer on DMC (Dolphin McQueen Car)  and Adam. 
Adam's car had a ruff start, but once Dadam glued the tire axles DMC started winning!  As you can see from the above pictures he enjoyed a few winning races.  Adam didn't take home First Place, but he did receive an award for Most Artistic.  With this being his first year in scouts I think we can say that we learned a lot and we are all looking forward to putting that knowledge to use next year :)
Way to Go Adam!!!
