Pinewood Derby 2009


Jared began his Family Medicine rotation in Heber this week, and it also happened to be Jace's Spring Break, so we packed up and headed out to a place just 30 minutes away from work... The Cabin!
Here, the boys watch Dad... Ooops!... drill a hole all the way through the car. Meant to just make a hole for the weight. We'll have to fill that in. Probably one of the funniest parts of our cabin trip besides when I found Kyle outside in the snow with nothing on but his diaper!
But that's another story. Back to the Derby car...

Anticipating the next step...

Melted metal pouring into the car - fascinating!

Dad's helpers. Elmer's glue seemed to be a good idea to fill that darned hole in.

Finished product. Model name: LAVA
Let the games begin! Lance and Kyle were awesome cheerleaders, yelling, "Go Lava!" each time it was Jace's turn.

Jared was so funny. Between each race, he added graphite to the wheels. I guess it's s'posed to make the wheels go faster. But Jared's not a competitive kind of guy.
Not that it matters, but the ending results? Jace got 3rd place! He was so pleased! Way to go, Jace!
