Well, the Pine Wood Derby was Saturday Feb. 7th. It was LOADS of fun. This shot is London and our little neighbor friend Jacob. They're just getting weighed in and ready to start.
All the cars in the line up. Well, not ALL of them, there were about 30+ when all the weighing was said and done. Some pretty sweet styles if you ask me.
Our old wooden Pine Wood Derby Track was ancient and crumbling. So the Cub Masters work donate boo-ku $$$$ and bought our Pack this stream line beauty. It attaches to a computer, has laser timing, monitors and saves the times of every car...this thing is just awesome. So each kid raced 4 times (once on each track, to be fair), the computer erases their slowest time, adds up all their other times, and the top score wins. AWESOME!
Overall it was an excellent event. London had loads of fun, and though he didn't win the races he was happy just to be there.

AWESOME!London won 2nd in this particular race. Not sure where he placed overall.
Besides 1st, 2nd and 3rd place pins they gave out only 1 other award. Best Paint Job, and London won. His trophy, as you can see, is an awesome Eagle Head Bike Helmet.

Jared was sweet and signed me up to help with refreshments for the event. I don't think I've made this many cupcakes EVER. But I was pleased to see mine were chosen 1st before the other ladies cupcakes. :)
