Winter Walk to Valentines

Last night Steven had his first pinewood derby race for Boys Scouts. Wow, we were just amazed at how fancy this race is. The track has a photo sensor and calculates time and speed, much fancier then Pete and I were expecting, having never done Boy Scouts before. The cars kids made were really neat too, it was cool to see all the different designs.

Steven chose to make a Batman car this year and it turned out great. It wasn't the fastest car there (continually getting 5th, one time it got 4th), but he did get 1st Place for Best Design. That made him really happy since he was quite upset that his car didn't win any of the heats. The other boys were coming up to him and telling him how much they liked his car. It made him feel very proud.

Pete was really into it too and has already decided what type of car they will be making for next year
