Pinewood Derby!!

Yesterday was Pinewood Derby, and BOY was it FUN!!! It started at 9am at our house for pre-wheigh-in. It was SO fun to see all the boys and their dads working on the cars! HOW FUN!!
Here is the "Official Weigh-in" that night!!

Check out all those CARS!!! That is JUST our ward....39 boys raced!!! It was CRAZY!!!!
Payton is the black one with the red stripes right at the bottom of the picture...by the hot glue gun. The Bears all made stands to hold their cars. SO COOL!!
 Lexi found on of the ones that Tyler and Payton had messed up on, so she painted it herself and Tyler added the wheels.
We always have a "Filler" car that always loses. We have a great John Deer tractor, but it seemed to be racing a lot, so we let Lexi and another boy race their cars too....Lexi even got to race Payton...
 
Payton beat her, but she beat the other scout, so her car wasn't allowed to race, after that!! YIKES!! She thought it was GREAT that she got 2nd!!
On to more serious racing.....Payton is the black one in lane 1  
1st place!!! WOOHOO!!!
 
After EVERY race, Payton's face was BEAMING. He was so proud and happy. It was priceless.
After all was said and done, he won......

2nd place overall!!!
That is out of 39 boys!!!

I am SO proud of my MEN!! They did a GREAT job and had a lot of fun! Good job, BOYS!!!
To end the night, we made these pinewood derby cars for every person!! They LOVED Them!!
