Liam's First Pinewood Derby

Wes was called into cub scouts earlier this year. He's had so much fun doing the activities with the boys and I think he was just as excited for the upcoming pinewood derby as the scouts! Because Wes is in scouts and Liam will be 8 this year, they allowed Liam to participate in our pinewood derby this year.  Wes and Liam had a BLAST cutting out his car and decorating it together. Wes was so good about letting Liam do everything and design it just how he wanted.  We all attended the derby and had so much fun watching Liam race his car. I must admit that I had no idea how serious this all was. They had brackets and rules and check in, etc, etc. And it lasted for HOURS. lol. That being said, it was fun.  Liam's car got second place in his division which was really cool! It was fun watching the suspense in his eyes as he raced his car. So cute.  I love that kid's enthusiasm. He also got the award for best details on his car.  He's already planning his car for next year.
