Nate's 1st Pinewood Derby

March 24th our pack did it's annual pinewood derby. This was Nate's first official race as a cubscout. As a bonus, Josh and Colton were also able to race a car. At the end of the pack's brackets were all finished they opened it up to anyone else to race. Danny had made one for them to participate in. Nate chose a snake for his car and J & C's was a patriotic truck.

Nate's snake car that he painted all himself. Daddy may have help cut it.

This was made for the whole family but we let Josh and Colton take claim of it.

Our 2 cars side by side

Nate getting ready for his first race.

I think this is part of any open race with everyone. And he'd been slaughtering everyone. But this time he put his car up against another brother's car and started talking smack. And because of the smack talk he lost! Silly boy!

Coming down the track, Nate's in the lead.

Waiting for it to finish

And we have a clear winner.

Unfortunately, we think something happened to their car. It ended up with a 50/50 winning streak.

Looks like they are winning this one

A picture of my pretty girl

She kept laying all over Joshy. He'd kept moving away and she'd follow.

And the winner is: Nate. Danny handed out all the awards.

He really is a happy camper!

Danny is helping the boys hold their award. Everyone or rather every kid recieved some type of award.

They boys were more thrilled that it was over and that they got their truck back than about getting an award.
