Today was our very first pinewood derby race with boyscouts. Brian has been looking forward to this since I was pregnant with Will, I think. Something about those little cars really appeals to the dads.
Will is really into Sponge Bob right now, so Brian came up with a concept for a sponge bob car. Ben, not to be out done by his big brother, wanted to participate as well and wanted a car just like daddy's Mustang. They had a friends and family race for the siblings so he got to race his car too.
Will's race was the first of the day and he ended up placing 3rd. Not bad for our first attempt at this! I admit I did not have much faith in the car because of the boxy shape, but it turned out to be the little sponge that could! It also got voted best paint job by the kids.
Ben's race was later in the day and I stayed home with Sam while he napped, but Brian took video. Ben's car took home first place in the friends and family division! He was so thrilled!
