Jackson got 1st place in his Den this year for the Pinewood Derby. He was very, very excited. He was so surprised each race when he kept coming in first (his past cars have not done very well....) He was so happy to get a trophy! His siblings were a little jealous.
All of them had a good time. Each year they do a sibling race too so all the kids can be involved. They absolutely love it. It's a little harder on Matt and I to help them get 4 cars ready in time. Maggie's car did really well also and came in second in the sibling races.
Here are their cars. Jackson chose to do a Speed Racer design. Matt drew out the shape and I cut it. He is so much better with 3D modeling than I am :) Jackson was really proud of his finished car. Hailey's is the next one over. She loved decorating it. Caleb's is the Green Lantern car. He knew just what to do when the guy would call his name. He would go and sit in the chairs at the end of the run and then pick up his car and take it back to the waiting table. He even knew exactly where to leave it each time. I loved that he was wearing his Green Lantern shirt that day too. Cute boy :) Maggie's car was very colorful. She added all kinds of colors and designs. She was a little disappointed when we covered up a lot of it with weights.That's what we get for not wanting to spend time carving out areas to hide the weights......
