Pinewood Derby 2010

Ahh, the Pinewood Derby.... our favorite of the Cub Scout activities! It was this morning and what fun it was! It started out a little scary (more details later in the post!), but ended up being a great success and Austin had tons of fun. His car did pretty well and I happen to think it looks awesome! Jamie (Jeff!) had fun telling kids to watch out b/c halfway through the race it could transform and knock the other cars out!

A with his "Barricade"

Brenden's "General Grant" (he ended up winning 1st in the Pack, nice job Bren!)
Emily's "Flower Power"

Jamie's (Jeff's!) Iron Maiden (at least 5 lbs!)

I love seeing all the different cars the kids come up with!

You'll notice Justin has a bandage on his hand. While trying to take off some weights from his son's car during set up, he happened to JAM the chisel into his palm! Jamie (Lynn!) rushed him to the ER where he ended up getting 7 stitches! "I think we'd all agree Justin has shown us here what NOT TO do with a chisel!" But what a trooper though, after receiving the stitches (and pain meds of course!) he returned to the races!

We couldn't not give him a Boo-Boo award to remember this day by!
