Brandon and the Young Men held a "no rules" pinewood derby this week. My boys were so excited and since dad was in charge they were allowed to participate. Sam worked on his plans for his car for days. Brandon told him to think of something heavy to put on it. The next morning he came to me with scotch tape and a variety of toys. All the toys were things that in reality would have been heavy if they weren't a toy: a treasure chest, pirates, a canon, etc. Then he changed strategies and tried to tape on items that were really fast: a hot wheel car and a stuffed cheetah.
The night before all three boys decorated their cars.
Jackson's attention span quickly went from painting his car to giving himself a tattoo.
While Sam had great ideas about how to weigh down his car, Brandon helped him with the final product. Sam was so excited about racing his car with the big boys.
These are most of the cars that raced that night. There were a couple late comers that didn't make it in the photo.
Sam won the race and this smile was permanently on his face for the rest of the night. While Brandon ultimately took home first place for all the races.
He is already talking about what he is going to do for his next pinewood derby.
