PINEWOOD DERBY!

Mitchell had a great time tonight in his first Pinewood Derby! He and Kevin worked hard on his car and had a ton of fun racing it! Mitchell made it to the Final 4! He ended up with 4th place and was super proud! He has such a great group of friends in the Scouting Program with him and leaders who are outstanding! It was fun to see the guys all having such a fun time racing their cars!

What a fun night! You are an awesome kid Mitchell!

Whoa.... the car....
Mitchell googled cars on the internet and told Kev he wanted a Lamborghini... alrighty then...

Two proud guys!

Mitchell got to race about 20 times!
This picture was the top 4 racers!

Kev was there for every pit stop to graphite the axels...

There was some serious competition!
I was happy to see that all the boys had such a fun time!

And they're off!!

The awesome cheering section!

The scoreboard...

The best part about the Derby... the buds and their cars!

Mitchell and Dallin the champ! Way to go Dal!

Mitchell sanding his car a couple days before the race!

He was able to put the power tools to use!
There was a LOT of testosterone in the garage that weekend!

Aaahhh! Finally the paint job!

GREAT JOB MITCHELL AND KEVIN!

I love the pictures of Mitchell and Kevin working on the car together. Isn't that the best part of it all? There is nothing like a dad and his boy. --And you're two dudes are darling!

Awesome car! At Landon's first pinewood derby we came in dead last-ours totally sucked big time-and there was a loser car that someone in the bishopric made with CTR rings all over it, and he made it so it would lose so none of the kids would feel bad---yep, ours even lost to his. Maybe we need your plans for next year :) lol.
