Pinewood Derby

This year was Austin's first Pinewood Derby. It was a lot of fun. Jeff worked very hard "helping" Austin with his car. In all fairness, I will say that I overheard many conversations between Austin and his dad over what the car would look like. Austin did draw out what he wanted, and picked the colors (painted after the Dallas Cowboys). And of course, every great race car has to have a name, so we named it "Cowboy". Anyway, even though Austin's car didn't win, it did great, and we all had a very fun time. And our Committee Chair, Sue Roberts, did an outstanding job on giving awards to all of the boys who participated, and making them all feel special...so thanks to Sue.

It is awesome to see what some of the boys came up with!

Austin won an award for best paint job which included a cool race car sun catcher.
Tyler hardly cared about the races, he wanted the cupcakes!!!!
He crammed 3 cupcakes into his mouth before I even got the camera out! PIGGY!
