We entered 4 cars and one pot of chili in this year's annual Ward Pinewood Derby and Chili cook-off. Men, women, and girls can enter the race, right alongside the boys.
Joseph had a friend, Sam, who lives up the street join us in making a car and racing it. He's in the #12 shirt.
Joseph made an old fashioned Rolls Royce looking car.
Guess who nearly won again? You guessed it. AMARA! She took second this year. She lost by an inch. It came down to the coin toss and lane choice. The winner, Haley Bone, won the coin toss and lane choice. We won lane choice last year and Amara won, with Haley taking 2nd last year. WOW! Was it close!
Christian made sure all the cars were aligned properly on the tracks, to give the cars the best shot at winning. Christian and I stayed up until 2 in the morning for several nights to get everything ready: wheels, axels, and paint. If you are at all into the Pinewood Derby scene, you should rent "DOWN 'N DERBY." We rented it again an watched it that night, after the races. It reminded us about the 5 most competitive families in our neighborhood that compete in the race each year. HILARIOUS! It's funnier the second time you watch, I think.
