Pinewood Derby Time



Chris and Cameron got their pinewood derby cars today, so they got to work on them. Chris never does anything "half way" and the pinewood derby is no different!

The leaders asked that the boys make their own cars, and not sit and watch their dad's make them, which was why they decided to do a dad's race too.

Chris and Cameron each got on the Internet and picked out a car shape that they wanted to do. Chris helped Cam sketch it out, and then they went downstairs to start the cutting. Chris of course had to help with the power saw, but Cameron did all the sanding and all the filing.

They both look like pretty cool cars! They still need to do the paint and all the finishing touches on them, but I'll bet they will be the best looking cars at the Derby!

That's funny that they are doing a daddy race too. Looks like lots of fun.
