To say it has been crazy around here is an understatement. J has been busy at work and pulling long hours and weekends, so much that lil' J had to ask if daddy was on a trip...however, the boys had a Pinewood Derby to get ready for and I (we) tried our best at getting daddy and the boys together for at least a couple hours this week to get something put together.
This guy was super excited to try his hand, and was excited to redeem himself after not so fun rain gutter regatta.
He at first thought it would be fun to make a more abstract car...so daddy obliged and tried his best...
after a brief discussion on aerodynamics and the pack favorite contest we decided to scratch that idea.
M is always the great thinker, trying to figure out what design he wanted...
After sanding a bit the boys were ready to paint their cars...
and polish the axles.
We were ready for the 2012 races! It was held in the CRW warehouse on base.
The competition...there were some great looking cars there.
Excited to get started and see how his car does!
Every time his car ran down the track he would look back and smile!
After all the Wolf heats were done they announced the winners...he ended up tied for first in time, but it ran second in a heat against the other car and ended up in second.
One of his best buds got third.
Next came M's den, the bears...he ended up earning 2nd place as well.
M's car is in the white lane (which was the slowest lane on the track), black and orange car.
Proud with their 2nd place medals.
Both boys were in the race off for the top cars of the pack. It was a close race, but M finished 5th overall and J finished 3rd.
An extra special day for my special boy!
