Saturday was the Pinkwood Derby (a.k.a. Practice for the next 12 years of Pinewood Derby) and the girls had a great time! The girls wanted their cars to be longboards this year instead of cars...very cute! After spending hours last year sanding wheels and axels, Britton got online and bought two sets of matching wheels and axels! He was so pleased with his purchase! He spent hours "reading and researching" the ins and outs of weight placement. Pinewood Derby races and Church Ball... seriously brings out the worst in folks!
So while Britton was studying, so was Shane and Uncle Ryan! Ryan made cars right along with the kids! (Although his were in the true shape and form of famous old cars... not longboards! His car got 6 coats of paint and sanding between each coat!) HOURS were spent on these cars! We even bought a small table saw and sander to add to our supply! Ridiculous! It was seriously fun though... and we had some winning cars all around!
The autos and their auto-makers!
