This actually took place back in February, but since I just started this blog, I am backtracking a bit. This was Caleb's first pinewood Derby and Cameron's last. It was a lot of fun. Cameron made a semi-truck and Caleb made this race car with pirate stickers all over it. Caleb had so much fun helping Kurt cut his out and then doing all of the painting himself. I helped him a little with the stickers, but overall, he did most of it himself and did a great job. Cameron wanted this semi-truck and so he and Kurt had to add a piece on the top of it. It turned out great but when we got their to weigh it, it was too heavy. We drilled so many holes in the bottom and had decided he wasn't going to race it because we couldn't get it to weigh in right. At the last minute, with one or two final holes, it fit into the weight limits and he raced it. You should see the bottom of it, it looks like some hungry termites took to it. The boys had a great time together and I am happy they were able to do atleast one Derby together before Cameron graduated to Boy Scouts.
