ON YOUR MARK, GET SET, GOOOOOOOOOOO!
This month Dallin had the chance to experience his first pine wood derby with Cub Scouts. He worked on his car with Papa during the christmas break and then did the finishing touches with Dad back in TN. He was so excited about it, and we tried to make sure he was prepared, just in case, his car was not the fastest. The day of the race we weighed it at the post office and found out it was 1 ounce less than the maximum weight allowed, and being the perfectionist family that we are we had to get some weight added. So after school, only hours before the race, mom and Dallin added bullet fishing weights as tail pipes to the back to add some more umph! He raced in the first heat, and got FIRST place. The next two heats he finished second. The car that one happened to be a best buddy of Dallin's so I think that made it better. It is always easier to lose to someone you like. The family had a blast, and we can not wait until next year. Even dad is going to enter one in the sibling and parent race.
