Pinewood Derby Day!

This was the primary reason the twins joined cub scouts; to race in the Pinewood Derby. With Great Uncle Richard’s assistance, Daddy “helped” the boys over the last month design, build and decorate their entries, and today was the moment of truth. Both cars were beautiful and fast. Had “the luck of the draw” been with them, each car might have made the finals, but unfortunately the brothers drew each other in heat eliminations, twice, and twice Benji’s “Eagle” defeated Davey’s “Hot Dog” to qualify for the finals. Today was Benji’s day! He made a podium finish taking home a third place trophy and his car won “Best of Show” for design and appearance. Davey was very excited for his brother but added “wait until next year!”
