The Pinewood Derby

We had another rousing Pinewood Derby on Sunday last.
It was just an edge-of-your-seat thrill a minute.
Well it was fun. The boys had fun getting their cars ready and they had some stiff competition in the decoration dept. John named his "The Green Monster" apparently after a vehicle that won a land speed record once upon a time. Brendan decorated his to look like Jeff Gordon's car, complete with the '24' logo that we downloaded off the web. Theirs are the two on the end. Paul's was a Star Destroyer, with a Lego minifigure perched on the top. Can you find it? Unfortunately there were other, more original cars there, like the truck that hauled Moonshine in barrels on the back.Now THAT is Cecil County original.
The races were initially rather disappointing. The boys didn't have a lot of luck in their individual races, but, since their packs are so small, they both got trophies and Paul got a ribbon.

Lucy was along for the ride and was charming after she woke up.
It was a nice time with everyone and the boys went home happy.
