Pine wood derby.

So apparently along with cub scouts comes this thing called Pine Wood Derby.

Well this was something that Poppa I mean Brady was very excited about. He determined he wanted his car to look like a football, indicitive of his latest obsession, so I turned to Chris and said "Can you make it happen?" He responded....I think we are heading to Lansing next week :) They needed to enlist Poppa's expertise and his woodshop in his basement! They came back and I was quite impresssed with what they Poppa had created! Chris promised me Brady got involved a little but all and all it turned out pretty cute I mean cool. 

 

Here is Brady checking the competition on the test track.

Luckily it was quite organized and all digitalized (of course) Lining up for round one of what seemed like 140 rounds.

I still think Brady's was the cutest (i might be bais) but lets just say I think a few "Poppa's" got involed as the flag is pretty cool too. The Yellow kid's Poppa must have been outta town wah wah wah.....

There is Brady behind the rope watching if his car finished first.

The football did great, better than I was expecting,no offense Poppa, but I thought we would have a lot more first year learning curves.  Brady's car continually did well and he ended up coming in 3rd place overall in his den (all first graders) and 10th place overall in his pack (all first - fourth graders)

Congratulations Brady I mean Poppa!
