The Pinewood Derby

This is yet another, long overdue, blog...

Last year, when Dave saw a flyer for the Pinewood Derby, held by a boyscout troop at our church, he wanted to make a car with Amerah but it was too late.

This year he planned a little earlier and the two set off on a father daughter adventure in racing...
Lily and I wisely kept to the living room as my perfectionist husband worked with my it's-good-enough and why-don't-we-add-pink-polkadots daughter.  I watched as the two worked together, argued together, and finally compromised...
 
 
On St. Patrick's Day, Amerah could hardly contain herself.  She watched as the boy scouts raced in the regulated division and waited impatiently for her turn in the unregulated division.
 
 
 
 
Finally she was able to race...
 
 
 
Aaaaaaaaannnnnnnndddddd.... drum roll please.... Amerah walked away with 1st place!
 
 
 
 
Needless to say she was VERY pleased with herself and did not give her dad much of the credit haha.
