Pine wood Derby

Due to the fact that I had recent had Brody, I was unable to attend the pinewood Derby this year. This is especially sad because it was Tyler's first official race and we didn't get any pictures of the event itself. It sounded like it was great. They had it in the parking lot and there was a bouncy and everything! The boys had a great time racing, but said they didn't to well in the race. Apparently there is a trend of people purchasing their cars, all made, on the Internet hmmm. I don't know if this is true, but if it is then I'm sorry my kids thought their cars were not good simply because they were up against "professional" cars. maybe the rumors are false :) oh well they had fun designing, sanding and painting their cars anyway. Chad even had fun building his bus. Unfortunately Aiden dropped it days before the race and broke a wheel off, thus making it impossible to run it, oh well.
Casey designed the purple one, hoping the sleek shape would improve his wind resistance.

Tyler went for the truck design again. He is all about looking cool, aerodynamics be darned.

And the bus was fun. I even got to help out by making the stop sign for the side.
