Pine wood Derby

So our ward decided to have a pine wood derby race for all of the men.  Daddy decided that it would be fun for he and Ashton to make a car to race.  Unfortunately for me I am still too young so I just had to sit back and observe the fun and excitement. 

 Safety first.  Ashton made sure that he put on his glasses before they started cutting and sanding.

Here they are cutting the piece of wood to the exact shape they wanted.

They then got to paint the car.  

Still sitting and watching 

Ashton decided that it needed to have all of the colors that they had bought on it. I tried to tell him that I didn't think that that was a good idea, but they didn't listen to me.  Still to young to know what I am talking about.

So I just sat back and kept my mouth shut. 

  

Here is the final paint job.  Ashton was right... I think that it looks AWESOME.  Good job Boys!

I was so bored and bummed that I was too young to help out that I just rolled over onto my side and lost interest.

Here is Ashton at the big race.  He is wearing his jammies cause the race actually started after his bedtime.

On your mark, get set, goooooo

So their car came in dead last all four heats, but Ashton didn't care.  He thought that it was one of the coolest things that he has gotten to do!

Mommy was trying to take pictures while she was holding me.  Didn't work out so well for her.  

Good for me though!

Ashton couldn't believe how much fun it was to make a pine wood car and race it.  I can't wait till next year when I am older and can help Daddy and Ashton build one.
