Pinewood Derbies

Emma and Ben are good at letting me know that I’m way behind on blogging. They have suggested that all I need to do is post every day until I’m caught up. So I’m going to give it a try, but I feel pretty confident about how well it’s going to work. :)

This year was our first time as parents to experience a Pinewood Derby. And we actually had two of them! Emma’s Girls Activity Days group decided to have one for the girls this year. The boys and girls were about two weeks apart, and Emma’s was first.

It was fun to see the difference in preparation and decoration between the girls and the boys. It made me laugh a little. The girls painted their own cars at one of their activities. Emma’s is the night time one. I think she had a great time.

Of course Ben chose a Lego theme for his car. I think that may be Lloyd and Jay in the seats.

And since we (I mean Adam) helped make two cars, I think he learned a lot about how to put them together. So next year Ben (and possibly Emma) can be even faster.
