Tony's Last Pinewood Derby

Where Tony has turned eleven, this was his last pinewood derby.  His car was in the middle of the bunch.  His won some races, and lost others.  He had a good time, and showed great sportsmanship.  We took fruit kabobs that looked like semaphores, watermelon red, cantaloupe yellow and green grapes.  Tony and I built them.  Sheri was helping to decorate.  In fact I also helped set up tables after the play practice.  Someone had set up chairs for conference, so it was a bit harder with taking down first.

A few views of the Pinewood Derby Pack Meeting.  Tony came in fourth.  This includes Tony receiving his Bear.  Luke Baer crossed the bridge or zip line to Boy Scouts.  All the kids got to ride the zip line.

Tony's First Pinewood Derby

Tony participated in his first Pinewood Derby.  He knew going in his car was a bit light, and not prone to win the even.  however he did win some of his races, but didn't finish in the top three.  They had some fun races at the end, and his care did well at first, usually finishing first.  However it seemed to tire because it didn't do as well later.  I don't know is the wheels were pushed off, or the lubrication ran out or what.  The mothers provided car oriented snacks.  Sheri took RPM's or raisins, peanuts and M&M's.
