Pine Wood Derby

Taylor had his Pine Wood Derby for scouts this week.  Danny helped Taylor and friend Ryan build their cars.  They both had cool designs and fast cars.  Taylor's car was painted BSU colors and Ryan's was BYU colors.

Here's a picture of all the cars lined up ready to go.  There were 42 cars being raced. There were a lot of really clever, creative cars.  One car had an IPOD with speakers on it, and it played music while going down the track.

This is the best picture I could get from this kids.  Why are 8 year old boys so odd?  I love you Tay, but really- you need to learn to smile normally!

Danny was the designated "Derby Dad".  Meaning he was available to help if a boy needed help with his car. 

Here's the boys lined up watching the races. 
It was a fun night, and Taylor seemed thrilled with his car, which makes it a success!  Taylor & Danny are already talking about how to design the car for next year!
