We're going on....

So today was Spencer's Pinewood Derby race for Cub scouts. I was really looking forward to showing the boys the importance of sportsmanship, and how to act if your car is not the one that wins. Well, to much suprise Spencer's car just kept winning, and winning, and winning, getting him into the finals heet. Well he then ended up taking second place over all.

What makes me the happiest is knowing that he really did do just about everything on his car. We helped him cut it out and spray paint it, but he sanded, decorated and helped with the wheels, and look what all his hard work got him, what a great lesson he learned from this as well. He also got the certificate for the fastest looking car as well.

Here is a picture of his car getting ready to race, his is the first car on the track.

Oh then Cameron raced his car, but consistantly came in second place in each race. He was just happy to see his car go down the track. His is the yellow car in the first lane. I was proud of him for not getting to upset about not winning.



Photobucket So all in all we had a very fun morning, and will get to do it all again in about 4 weeks.
