Pinewood Derby!!

Jacob had his cub scout Pinewood Derby a couple weeks ago. He had so much fun! From the minute he got his kit, he was asking Josh to make it EVERY SINGLE NIGHT! So, finallythe time came to sit down and design it. Jake drew up a little sketch and then sat down with Josh at the computer, where Josh (and his awesome skills) was able to create a true to scale model! Jake designed everything for his car, right down to the fire coming out of the back of the rocket on the top. His car won 2nd place in the first run and 4th in the second. He was so proud of his car and how hard he and Josh worked on it, he wasn't even really all that concerned with how well it did. Even thought it didn't win 1st place, it DID get the award for the "Best Looking"!
Jake is already looking forward to next year and Josh is already thinking of ways to make it go faster!!!! The scout program is so much fun and we are so glad Jake is a part of it.
Way to go Jake!!


Just waiting to get started!!
