Winter wonderland


The more the snow the faster I can go!!!

















PINEWOOD DERBY TIME!!



Another year and another car to race. Alex did a lot of work to get his car ready for the Derby this year. He painted it patriotic and put stars on the top and sides. The weight was done with washers because we couldn't find any place that carried the weights. But it made the car look really cool and he loved it.


Anthony and Andrew are ready to watch their cousin race his car with their racing gloves on. In a couple of years they will be doing the same, so they are studying the best cars to get ideas for the future.


Uncle Brian is the official 'starter' of the race.

"On your mark, get set, GO"


After this all of our boys want him to make one so they can do it in their basement all year round. How cool would that be?






This is so exciting...I'm having so much fun.










How many judges does it take???? Who's on first......






The pinewood Derby was a lot of fun and everyone had such a great time. All the scouts with all their cars; all different shapes, colors, designs and all with the same purpose; to have fun and enjoy being part of the scouting program.




Second Place!


Eli won first, Alex second and Mike won third.
All the boys also got an award for the making of their car. Alex got "Best Paint Job."
Congratulations Alex we are so proud of you for all your hard work that you do.
