It's that time of year!

Time for the Pinewood Derby!
Zachary and his dad have been working hard on his car the past few weeks. They've carved, sanded, drilled, glued (then had to saw and drill again because the glue got on a wheel!), and lubed and weighed in. We were really close to the 5 oz limit, so we glued 2 dimes onto the bottom to bring it up to 5 oz. It was so much fun to watch Zachary as his car raced. He was so excited - he really hoped his car would do well.
Here's his car on the track - ready to go!


The race begins...watching the boys was so much fun!










Here come the cars... GO! GO! GO!















So, how did we do? Really, do the results actually matter? Uh, to Zach, the answer would be YES!



He got 2nd place! (Pretty awesome, especially when you consider there were about 24 cars entered - give or take a few!)

And how does Zach feel about it?

Really, do we need to ask?!
