Pinewood Derby

Hunter is our cub scout, we had our pinewood derby last Friday night! The Stephen's have a little tradition of going a little overboard on our cars. We just like to be creative that's all!! Rarely have our cars been actual "cars". I should document that with photos someday I guess. Lots of Packer themed vehicles.
This year was no different. Hunter's car was a Wii remote, we had fun making it and it turned out better than we expected. We had to get creative. The buttons were scrapbook brads, painted white and the + button was actually a tile spacer. In the past, some of our cars have looked good but raced terribly, however the Wii remote actually raced pretty well.


He came in second, just tenths or hundredths of seconds behind first. (It was an "olympic" moment). Of course all that mattered was participating and having fun. I will say, Hunter is a pretty good sport. I say that to praise him because we have had a little trouble in the past with a "sore" loser. Any of you who know us well know who "it" is. (Gosh, I hope he doesn't read this blog.....but whatever, like he doesn't KNOW!!!) We ARE working on that! We love our kids, really! But, this time around, Way to go Hunter!!!!! (and as a parent, aren't we glad THAT'S over) ;-)
