Derby Car

This is how far behind on pictures I am. On January 20th Jacob had his Pinewood Derby race for Cub Scouts. Both Lane and Jacob made a car for the race. Jacob was so excited to make his car. Lane let him pick out his design and what colors he wanted to paint it. He was in 7th heaven. That was all I heard about for a week straight! The night of the race Lane and Jacob headed to the race before me and MaKena. When I showed up Jacob was so excited. Everyone got a medal for making a car. I was surprised I got it off his neck when he went to bed that night! He thought that was great. His car did pretty good but he didn’t win a trophy. They gave out trophies for 1st, 2nd and 3rd. He’s already talking about what kind of car he’ll make next time. Lane’s car did really well. He took 2nd in the open race. The adult’s race was just for fun so they didn’t give out trophies. Lane’s already talking about how he can make his car better for next time. I’m so glad MaKena is in the house with me. We’ll play Barbie’s or babies when the boys make their cars!!
