Our ward left the Pine Wood Derby track up this week after the scouts had their Pine Wood Derby so we could have a ward party. It was so fun to have everyone make crazy cars but even more fun to see them race. Some designs were sure to win--like EJ Raven's wood splitter wedge that was duck taped to a car. :D Darryl's 2 lb tank didn't do so bad. Kade and Clint's cars were pretty close to regulation rules-- all made by their own design: they both drew their own design(Darryl cut them out), they nailed on their own tires, and painted them. They were so proud and extremely excited for the race. We loaded up with Ann and her crew and invaded the party. It was so much fun. Clint would get so excited when they would announce that he was up to race. Each car got to race about 5 times. Clint and Kade's cars took 2nd and 3rd places. This was a unique party and it turned out to be a great one! We actually ducked out early because we had 10 kids there and there were 70 more races to go. We took everyone to Dairy Keen for an ice-cream cone. Good times.

We do something similar to this in our ward, too. Unfortunately, though, we have no car building skills.
