Down and Derby

So tonight was our first Pinewood Derby!!! Bryce and Brian have been working on it for the last few weeks.
They polished the axels and wheels. Brian even let Bryce run the drill. Bryce even got to use the saw--for a couple of minutes.
Bryce did A LOT of sanding on it. It was his least favorite thing to do.


Brian took one of his old Pinewood Derby cars tonight and raced against Bryce's car. Bryce's car beat Brian's car by a few feet. In fact, Bryce's car beat every one he raced. Both son and dad were very excited that his car didn't lose every race. Bryce had a lot of fun tonight and is very excited about being a Tiger Scout.
Here is a quick video of his car racing. His is the green one. (The one on the right)

YEAH BRYCE!!! That is a "hot" looking car. Glad to hear you won a few races! Way to beat your dad's "classic" car. (Isn't that what you call old cars?)

Great job Bryce!! It looks like a lot of hard work. I can't wait to come and see that cool car!
