Pinewood Derby 2017

Springtime is Pinewood Derby time.  I am in Cub Scouts now in my ward, so when the topic of the derby was brought up, I suggested that we have the Activity Days girls do a derby as well.  Everyone was all for it.  And it was lots of fun!  Tess will be out of Activity Days in a few months, so this was her only chance to do it, and I'm so glad she did.  Bryan had a great time working with Miles and Tess on their cars.

Here are all the girls' cars.  Tess's is the blue & black one on the right, in the 4th spot down. (It was fun to see the difference between the girls and the boys--they definitely did look "girly"--but were every bit as fast!)  The girls did their race at 4:30 and the boys did theirs at 6:00, so they didn't go head-to-head in any official races.  But afterwards, there were lots of brother-sister combos who raced for fun.

Here is Tess with her friend Lauren Ashby, who had the cutest Crayon Car.

And here is Tess with her Award--3rd Place!  Woohoo!

Here are the boys' cars.  Miles's is the yellow one on the left, 3rd from the top.

And here is Miles, collecting his award--also 3rd place!  Woohoo!  It was neat that they both ended up with the same prize!  (And of course, Miles has to be goofy for the crowd.  He really is the class clown.  He loves to make people laugh.)

Here is what Bree thought about the whole experience:

Haha!!
