It's that time of year again! It's always a family event to get that wooden car made. This year Matt chose a Lego block design. Steve and Matt worked together on cutting the shape. I helped Matt get it painted and glued. The girls were our support team during the building phase and great spectators on race day. The highlight for everyone this year was melting lead and then pouring it into pre-drilled holes for the weights. Anything with fire seems thrilling to children and some adults too!
The race day was lots of fun as usual. Lots of pinewood derby action, friends and treats too. Matt's car was not the fastest but luckily it wasn't the slowest either! He finished somewhere in the middle and got the award for "Best Build." Which I found very fitting.
