Pinewood Derby

So on Thursday we had the Pinewood Derby racing. We went down to the Church at 6:30 and they had a movie going about racing and how to build a car and stuff. Then they took all the kids into the gym where they had the racing set up. I had never seen the Pinewood Derby stuff before so this all new to me. They had four metal tracks where you would set you car and at the beginning of the race the track lifted up so your car would go. They had pins at the front and then someone would push a level and all the cars would go off at once. At the end of the race they had a board with digital numbers on it and when your car went across it posted your time. The guy had a computer that would keep track of all the times and the person with the best times after eight races was the winner. The kids were really excited to see this, especially Addison. He loved to watch the cars race. Jayden and Jacklyn both had cars but couldn't race theirs until the end because they aren't in Scouts. By the time it came for them to race, Jayden took off with friends and Addison was super excited to race Jayden's car. He waited in line with everybody and then when it was his turn he would step up on the chair and put his little car up and run to the end of the race to see how his car did. I couldn't believe how excited that little kid was for Pinewood Derby. It was really cute. After racing we chatted with everyone, had cookies, and went home. It was a really fun night, and all the kids enjoyed racing their cars.
