Ok! So this is our first ever experience with the whole Boy Scouts Pinewood Derby! Braxton was just thrilled about the idea of building this car from a block of wood and then racing it against all of his buddies at scouts. Little did he know, his dad has pretty awesome memories of his own very successful Pinewood Derby races. It was fun to see Lyndon so excited about arousing a childhood memory. This first picture shows Lyndon putting some finishing touches on the car. Braxton was a shadow the whole time.
This is a picture of all the cars lined up before the race. We definitely had the best looking car around. In fact, one of the awards I think he got was for best paint job! 
Considering how camera happy I have been lately, you'd think I could nail a better picture than this for such a big day! O well! Braxton had a great time. Though we didn't end up with the fastest car, we for sure ended up with the most grateful child. He really enjoyed all of it.

I am glad Braxton had so much fun with the derby. Way to go dad for staying up late to finish it. I know it meant a lot to Braxton. You could see it on his face as he is watching his dad do the finishing touches. Sorry you didn't win but it looked like a good time. And that was a very nice looking car you made!!
Guess what! I can comment! YAH! I just got a google account.
I loved seeing the pictures even though we were there with you guys. Your car was awesome! Lindon's such a good dad!
Joe was the MASTER champion racer at these events. No lie I have a picture of him in his scrapbook in a champion t-shirt which we also still have. I am excited to see that in the works when it's Spencer's turn-and especially my car obsessed Blake. You know I'll be snapping pictures too. When do you guys take off? I miss ya!
