Pinewood Derby!

April has been the craziest month with school projects, and medical travel, so why not add a Pinewood derby in there too?!  Once again, another real team effort to pull this one off and get Olive and Bentley's cars ready for the race.  All the primary activity night aged kids hold the race together and it's tons of fun to see all the different cars and the competition between the girls and the boys. And fortunately, the leaders have a lot of the tools needed to shape the cars. Well done Brad!  He did his best to make the kids descriptions come to be!

After Olive got hers cut out, when she looked at it, she saw a duck so she knew exactly how she wanted to paint it, and it turned out so adorable!  I love that her creative mind took her there. She was super happy with it, and named her car "Quick Quack."

Then after the shaping and painting, it was time for grandpa's workshop to put on the wheels and add some weights. Thank you grandpa!

Bentley rolled off of Olive's duck theme and made his a twist of her cute car, and named his "Death Duck."

Olive had so much fun and laughed and giggled watching "Quick Quack" race against her friends.  Bentley was a little frustrated at his car and it's less than perfect performance.  We have a couple families in our ward that are HARD CORE pinewood derby people - they win every year.  Bentley wants to beat them, but I'm just not sure he has the right team to help him make that happen. Sorry to let you down buddy.  You'll have to do more research on your own for next time. :)  He still had fun though.

Well done at the races kids, and kudos to the production team!
