Pinewood Derby

Jackson had is very first Pinewood Derby last night. Jackson had to stay home from school yesterday because he had a fever and really didn't want to miss this. You can tell in the picture he was so excited to be participating.


Jackson spent a lot of time with his Dad working on this project. He designed the car including paint job. He won for the best paint job. He was so excited about that. Kevin made him do all the work that was possible for an 8 year old. Jackson told me sanding was "hard work". He was determined to do a great job and he did. I am so proud of him.







Jackson was able to race on this very high tech race track. All the boys were able to race twice on each track. They had 49 heats total. Jackson had good races like this picture. He came in 1st. He also came in 2nd, 3rd and one 4th. They did winners for all the Dens and Jackson came in 1st for his Den. He was so excited. All the kids had a great time and enjoyed cheering on Jackson. They of course had donuts for dessert and Daddy let them have one. The excitement might have been bigger for that than the races. It was great. Looking forward to next year's race.

I am so very grateful for a Hubby who is talented in this kind of thing. If it was up to me it would be a block and painted purty. Of course I would add some stickers, flowers or Hello Kitty. HaHa. He definitely likes this car more than the one I could have made. Good Times. Way to go Boys!
