It is official. It is time to start getting ready for the annual Pine Wood Derby. This is a big deal at our house. The first year that Landyn was in the Derby his car came limping down the track in last place. That is no exaggeration. We felt so bad and he said that he didn't even want to go down to the end of the track and pick it up. I think everyone else felt bad to because some of the other dad's came over and helped us get a little graphite on it. After that it did win one heat and come in second on a few. Well last year that was not going to happen again. Anyone that knows Clint and my boys knows how compettitive they are. We got things figured out last year. Landyn took first place in every heat he ran. He not only took first place in his Bear Den but he swept the whole meet. He was very happy needless to say. This year we have two cars that have to race. Austyn is a wolf this year. This is landyn's last year as a Webelo. I will keep you posted as to whether we have smiles or tears this year. This is what they look like right now.

Well let me know your secrets as stetson goes into wolf's this year just in time to make the derby and we will be darned if we are going to limp over the line!!
You'll have to call me. If you want the secret you had better hurry.
It sounds like a lot of fun, good luck!!
Connor's first year was bad too. Only because as we were walking out the door...dad dropped his car and cracked the wood right where a wheel was. A quick glue job mended it, but destroyed any hope of a win. The big klutz!!
