Pinewood Derby

Tonight we had our annual Cub Scout Pinewood Derby. Jake and Aaron had so much fun. We have about 16 boys in our pack and there were a lot of unique cars. Jake's car was painted like Lightning McQueen from the movie "Cars" and Aaron's car was painted like the Mach 5 from the movie "Speed Racer". Aaron is in the Wolf Den and raced against 5 other cars and he won 1st place within his den. Jake is a Webelos and raced against 3 other cars and he won 1st place witin his den. That put Jake, Aaron and a young boy who was the Bear winner racing against each other. It was really exciting to watch who would be the over all winner. The track started acting up so it took quite awhile to see who would be the winner. The results came in and Jake was the overall winner with Aaron as a close second. I was happy to see that Jake finally won an event in his Cub Scout career. He is so easy going and little things like this don't bother him. Aaron had a great sense of sportsmanship because he wanted Jake to win since this was to be his last derby. Aaron said, " I have two years to win the trophy, so it's okay that Jake won." What a sweet boy. Congrats goes out to both my boys for a job well done!
