Pinewood Derby

Friday evening was Colten's pinewood derby at Boy Scouts. Colten picked out one of his matchbox cars that he wanted it to look like and he & John went to work on it. Colten did most of the carving and sanding himself (just on the parts that didn't need the big electric saws). He was pretty nervous about the race and we told him just to have fun. But he did really awesome! He got all 1st and 2nd places during the competition and ended up tied for 2nd in his age group. Then they had a tie braker for the overall places and he managed to get 3rd. He was super excited. Now we will be going to the district derby somewhere near Llano soon. That's sure to be an adventure!

Here are a few photos:
