Pinewood Derby

Jackson got to race in the Pinewood Derby tonight at Cub Scouts. He has been excited ever since he got the car kit last month. He and Steve decided on a simple design for their 1st effort and Jackson chose to paint it navy and gold for Dacula---go figure! He came in 4th place. We thought that was great for his first year. He was not too happy that he didn't place higher. It's too bad that kid is not competitive (ha!). He has already made plans for how to make his car faster next year and he doesn't want to paint it navy and gold again. He is going a totally different direction and wants to paint it gold with navy writing! His plans for winning next year include the fact that the boy who has won the past 3 years will be moving up to Boy Scouts next year.
