Pinewood Derby

Today was Pinewood Derby day for Quinns Cub Scout Pack. Scott and Quinn have been hard at work for weeks now working on their cars, and all their hard work paid off today with an extremely fun morning of racing. Quinn and his best buddy Spencer tied for first place in their heats, so they had to have a race off, and Spencer took 1st with Quinn taking 2nd in their den of other first graders. They couldn't have been happier. Truly, it was great. Quinn was so excited to get a trophy, and even happier that his best buddy got one too. They didn't care who got first or who got second. Then, they had the pack championships (which is all the boys in their pack from first grade up to 4th or so), and believe it or not, the Tiger Cubs (first graders) took 1st, 2nd and 3rd, with yet another race off, Spencer and Quinn once again taking 1st and 2nd place, and you can imagine they were really happy now... two trophies! The Dads had a great time too, and Scott was really happy to have come in second to our good friend John (as Scott had given him some of his tips earlier in the week), which meant he won, but would not have to move on to the District Championships. Best of both worlds. They really had a blast, and I'm not really sure who was more excited, the 40 something year olds, or the 6 year olds. I think it is safe to say it was both.
