Final Pinewood Derby

 The Bowen family may have raced their last Pinewood Derby!    (Well - maybe not....the activity girls seem to have a pinewood derby race every once in awhile too....and we certainly still have a lot of girls left to go through the activity days program)......

So, maybe I should say, Jack has raced his last Pinewood Derby!   He and Jon went with the "wedge" this year - no paint - no stickers - nothing.   Just a piece of plain wood sawed down to a wedge.

Jon helped Jack make it and then had to work the night of the actual race, but Jack raced well and ended up in 5th place.  There were some really, really fast cars!   He was a great sport and the girls had fun running around the church while he raced.

Ah, good memories!

That's so cute to see the two of them working on their car together!! Can you believe how fast the cub scout years go!?? I wasn't ready to see it end. Jack is growing up so fast and I am so grateful you have that sweet boy!

The old "Pinewood Derby" Oh boy! The wedge is always a good choice! Glad they got to do it together.
