Davis's first Pine Wood Derby!

This is Davis at his first Pine Wood Derby. It was quite an experience. Davis and Mark had fun building the "Gold Lightning"! Davis complained a little about all the sanding he had to do, and his poor little fingers couldn't hold down the gold spray paint can, but he helped as much as he could. However, it is in Dad's nature to help a little and man were those wheels fast!

This is Davis before the race began. I was happy he was still smiling because one of the older scouts told him there was no way his car could go fast because of how big it was. I told him not to worry because at least his car looked cool. He agreed and put a smile back on his face. (I know you are all wondering about the red mohawk. Mark took the kids to the school carnival right before the Derby and they had their hair painted)

Davis was very intense the whole time. I could not believe who in to this he was. There was no running around or goofing off. He stayed right by the track the whole time.

There is the "Gold Lightning" working its magic!

Davis getting his award! He was so proud.

The scout leaders were awesome and I cannot believe how much work they put into this. They did not give out first, second and third places. Instead all of the boys got an award, which meant all the boys went home happy. I wish we could say the same thing for all the Dad's.......

Although my husband had a pretty big smile on his face all night!
