Pinewood Derby

H's cub scout pack's pinewood derby was last Sat. (I think it's where I picked up the flu bug) This was our first one. H worked really hard on his car. I was very proud of him and his work. He found the design he wanted and then his dad helped him draw the design on the block of wood. Then H used a coping saw and cut out his car. He sanded it and sealed it. He painted it and decorated it and then put on a coat of finishing wax. He did all that work mostly all by himself. There were a couple of days where he would get so frustrated that he would have to just leave it alone. He would get so mad, he would stomp off and kick stuff and need to let out the frustration. But the next day he would go back to it and he did it. Well his car wasn't the best performing one, it didn't win any awards. But I know that plenty of those cars weren't made by the kids. I know that plenty of them were made mostly by the dads. H's car did about average and it was great fun to watch him with his scout buds. H had a great time and he has some ideas for next years design!
