Our First Pinewood Derby!

Ok, I didn't have a lot to do with making the car.  I did put decals on and modge podged the final coat, but Conrad and Bo spent a hours on it getting it just right.

They watched youtube videos, sanded and sanded and sanded the nails some more.  They sanded and put graphite in the wheels.  They fixed the wheels so it would drive on 3 (guess this makes it faster). Of course they painted it too.

Conrad was so excited and the competition was pretty steep.  He got 7th and we were pretty proud of that.  It was really fun to watch.  I think Brayden had more fun than anyone.  He yelled soooo loud every race and kept saying, "I love being here!"  So cute!

Oh and can I just say, the track has really been vamped up since we were kids.  It was hooked to cameras and a computer and showed us the speed after each race.  It was pretty cool.
