Pinewood Derby 2016

One of the most exciting pack meetings of the year - The Pinewood Derby! Time to weigh in. From the very start Sim Hutchinson was in a competitive mood, claiming THIS was the year his boys were going to beat the Pierce boys. Good thing everyone else at the Derby was pretty chill.

Noah's car - "Silver Steel".

A few of the cub scout entries...

and some siblings' entries, including Xander's winning car.

The competitors. It took about all my patience to get this picture. Cub Scouts, I tell ya!!

Hangin' with dad before the competition got underway.

The flags are always a favorite!

Noah's car is ready for a victory!

The excitement of each race!

Goofing off with Gabe.

Xander was once again asked to be the announcer; he always does such a great job and I love that Brother Mullins trusts him with that assignment.

Noah watching his car win race after race.

With only three losses for the night, Noah's car came in 2nd place!

He was all smiles! (And Sim was too because his boys took the other two spots!)

Noah and his bud Owen.

Time for the sibling races!

And time for refreshments!

Xander's winning car still won but unfortunately had a few losses. It still pulled through for him to place third, though.

The siblings always get the tasty prize.

I love when the boys get creative with their cars and we had some great ones this year but my favorite had to be Brother Mullins' "Grapes of Wrath car"!
