Pinewood Derrrrrbeeeey!

We had a fun day at the Cub Scouts Pinewood Derby.  That is we were all having fun until my son realized he was not going to make the top three and then there were tears.  He is very competitive.

We cheered him up promising to play Settlers of Catan Cities and Knights with him in the evening.  He really cheered up when he won the best paint job award.

We decided next year we would let him have a blast designing and painting it and we would make sure to center the weights better and get better wheels.  He designed his car this year, but mommy helped a lot with sanding and painting.  We found out that's not a big deal.

All in all, Alex got 6th place.
