Preston had his first Pinewood Derby for scouts April 28th. We were given the car kit the week we returned from spending the week with Grandparents in Utah where Preston went with Grandpa Walker to work in the wood shop. I was sad & frustrated that we didn't get it before, so he would have Grandpa's experienced help making his car. Come to find out, he didn't want much help anyway! He knew exactly what he wanted & pretty much made his car by himself. He did a nice job too! He drew his shape on the block of wood, a friend's mom took him to get it cut out, I put a quick sand on it & he painted it while I was sewing a bonnet for Maddy's field trip! We duct taped some washers on the bottom & # 99 was ready to race!
Macall & Madeline made a "Flower Power" car for Belle out of an extra kit Grandma & Grandpa L. had given us last year. Several of Maddy's friends had also made cars & they raced them after the scouts were done.
Now that looks like a very happy, little scout!!! Win or loose he had fun and he has a lot to be proud of for making such a great car without having Dad here to help. I am soooo glad he will be here next time!!!
