Noah participated in his first Pinewood Derby this weekend. Just last week he and daddy decided they were ready to try Cub Scouts. As luck would have it, their first meeting was finishing up the derby cars. Noah and I rushed to Michael's to pick up his kit and he and daddy got to work.
Friday night found us packed in to the school cafeteria. Because he is not yet an official member of the Pack, he had to participate in the Outlaw race. (Anyone can participate - but it is at the end of the night.)
He very patiently waited through 60 rounds of the real race for it to be his turn. He and Benj loved checking out the other cars.
Finally - two hours later, it was his turn.
He was so excited to have his turn at a trophy.
Lane #3, loaded and ready.
He didn't come in first.
Each car got to race 6 times in various match-ups. He did take a couple of 3rds, which we thought was impressive. Him? Not so much. See the girl with the big smile? That is his classmate Ava who just happened to take 1st place. (I am guessing they will never date and this will be the cause of that rift forever...)
Benj had a fashion statement to make.
And here he is. Always a winner in our book!!
