Mason had his first Pinewood Derby last night. (Last year he participated in the Space Derby.) He had so much fun getting his car ready! He and Shane worked very hard on it...and needless to say, Thursday night was a late night of "spinning the wheels"! Mason named his car, "The Gator" and by 6:30 last night, he was ready to see how fast his car could actually go!
"The Gator"
Drilling holes to add some weight
Lubing up the wheels
"I'm really proud of this car!" (Mason's exact words as I was taking this picture!)Mason said that he got really nervous the first time he set his car on the ramp...and none of us had any idea what his car would do. Well, lets just say that Mason's car being fast was kind of an understatement! His car FLEW down the track! It was so fun to watch! He ended up taking first place! It was a very exciting night!
The top 3 cars with their creators!
All of the boys did such a good job on their cars! It was fun to see how creative everyone got and what ideas they came up with! From a General Lee, to a car with it's own driver...the boys went to all the different extremes! Awards were given out for different categories after the races. Mason won "best paint job"...which is really funny...seeing how his car was covered with a body wrap instead of paint!
Our Cub Pack showing off their cars!Mason loves scouts. Perks like the Pinewood Derby makes him love it even more! He's received his Wolf and his Bear and will be a Webelos in August!

we are losers. Mike doesn't get home til so late, and we have no tools...so our boys did not participate. I could kick myself but seriously, we do not have the capability! :(
SO fun! And I think it is even better when they win! :) But how fun for Mason to be able to work on that with Shane.

Awesome! Way to go Mason! His car was so cool! I'm glad he had so much fun!
our derby was postponed because of our ward split. Riley was so disappointed. I have a feeling that it will be not be rescheduled.
Cool car though!
