Pinewood Derby time! Wahoo! Actually, to be truthful, I was really not looking forward to this, and almost didn't do it when the date got moved forward a week. But of course, Sam really wanted to do it, and so this morning, we took our old car from last year (which came in second to last place) and "we" (ie. "I") sanded down and totally reshaped and remodeled it. We went to the church with little to no expectation for our car, "The Vapor," but with first race our little car quickly "smoked" the competition! I guess the name was appropriate. Well, heat after heat "The Vapor" kept winning! It was crazy! In the end, Sam won 1st Place in the Bear den, and 2nd Place overall in the pack!
I am officially, the Pinewood Derby Queen! Sam thought it was pretty cool since he didn't have a dad at home, and his mom made a winning car! The Bishop told me to look out, because at next year's derby Adam will expect me to make the car! Maybe it wasn't such a good thing to do so well - haha! Anyway, all in all, it was a really great time. Sarah was Sam's biggest fan! She stood on a chair with Sam while the cars raced and yelled, "Go guys!" Everyone cheered, and we all had a lot of fun, though we sure missed our dad! Well, chalk one up for the home team! Go Bananas!

Great job Sam! I understand that Jens is a bit let down because he had the same car last year, and didn't do nearly as well. Sorry Jens! Well, maybe the Bishop is right, Liz is officially the pinewood derby builder from here on.
Congrats, you guys! Way to put the
pressure on, Liz. Clark's is in a couple of weeks and he's always been disappointed as well. Maybe you could loan us The Vapor. Good to see your fam on a blog. I'm addicted! Tell the boys hello! Talk to you soon.
Way to go Sam! Liz, Brent says you really goofed up! He said now that you were successfull you will be the official derby builder. Ha Ha! Have fun Mamma! Love you! Give the kids a hug from Aunt Julie.
