Weekend Update - Pinewood Derby

Saturday was Buddy's cub scout pinewood derby race. As I mentioned early, he and the Man got a bit of a late start on working on his car, but Buddy put in quite a bit of work on sanding it and helping the Man paint and sanding the wheels down. They were up late Friday night and up early Saturday morning. But the work was not in vain. Buddy's car was fast! Here's Buddy's car coming down the track in first place. Its the red one.

Buddy and his best friend Zkid watching the races. Buddy won race after race.

Another first place finish. I was getting almost embrassed as he continued to win a totally of 19 out of 20 races.

He would take first place in his den. He was pretty stoked as was the Man.

So after all the Den's in our pack raced, Buddy and the Man headed back to school (LG and I went to his baseball game) for another round of races.

He would compete in ten races and win all ten. WOW!

Later that night, the whole family went to the scout banquet.

Here he is with some of his friends being silly. They have such a good time.

He's den performs a dance dressed up as pillow case people. It was too funny. He is on the far left. I wish we had a video to show because if realy was hilarous.

Meanwhile, LG would eat a brownie the size of his head. It was so big he had to use a fork and knife to eat it.

After dinner, dessert and the show was the awards ceremony. Here Buddy gets his first place trophy for his den.

Here his is with both his first place trophy, car and grand champion trophy for the pack.

We are so proud and we are happy to support him in scouts. Its pretty cool.

And it was also a National Park themed banquet, so through out the night the scout master asked trivia questions about National Parks. The Man, Buddy and M.E. all answered questions correctly. It was pretty cool.

Let's test your knowledge.

1) What was the first National Park?

2) What National Park is home to the world's longest cave?

3) What National Park has the highest volcanoe in the lower 48?
