Bug had his 1st Pinewood Derby event this year. He was given a kit about 3 weeks ago, and had to draw out a design for his car...and then a theme to paint on it.
This called for a DADDY/SON project!~
So Bug drew out the shape he wanted the car and said the only thing he HAD to have on it was FLAMES and it had to be blue like Sonic the Hedgehog. Easy enough right?
Yup!~ :) Brad cut out the shape he drew and then they went to the hobby shop and picked out the paint and weights (his car had to be as close to 5 oz as possible)...SO...
$6 later, and they were set.....and BOY WAS BUG EXCITED!
He worked on it.....
AND VIOLA!~............
Finished Product (from the side)....
It is quite funny because the DAD's are all tweaking the cars, lubing them up and worrying about the race...while the boys run wild..and could care less... :)
Driver's start your engines.....
One of 3 races....
Another race...he JUST wins....
He lost one heat (out of 4)and made 4th....(really it was 3rd, but they judged wrong...I think it was harder for ME to not make a stink about the error than it was important to Bug...but in the end I held my tongue since the point is sportsmanship and FUN...and he had a great time! and i learned a lesson myself lol)
PROUD Daddy!~ :)
It was a GREAT day of fun....and we look forward to coming back next year! :P
Hey Sammy! That was pretty cool! Atta boy!
