Pinewood Derby

Last night was the ward Pinewood Derby.
It is always quite the event.
Above are the cars. Grandpa Turley helped Camdon build his and Camdon was very proud of the car. They have done this together for the last two years. Camdon wrote him a thank you note and said 'he was looking up to it next year too'. I guess you are not off the hook yet Grandpa.
Here they are just before the races began. They had to listen to the rules first. The cubmaster asked them, "What is the most important thing you need for the pinewood derby?" Camdon raised his hand and said "A car" His friend went second and said "Cub Scouts" Camdon went again and said "A track" They certainly were right but she was actually looking for 'good sportsmanship'.

The races have begun and they are excited!

Some of the older scouts thought it would be fun to roll around inside the tires. Here is Jaron in the tire.

Grandma Whipple and Savannah came to watch. Thanks for your support.

What a bunch of show-offs

Rootbeer floats for refreshment. Yum!

Here is a little video clip of Trevon riding in the tire.
