Living the Dream

Imagine you are an eight year old cub scout- never mind the stinky socks and the dread of taking baths. What would be a dream come true? That's right- a second helping of the Pinewood Derby, and the opportunity to make another car. That dream came true for Seth on Friday night when he got to participate in his second pinewood derby this year. Ahhh the advantages of moving. He named this car, "Speedracer"!

This ward went all out. They had an electronic finish line and trophies. The Dad's go a little fruity- bordering on ridiculous. The winning car had a total of 14 hours spent on it. FOURTEEN HOURS! Hello Please! The poor boy probably got to touch his car twice during the whole process. Once to bring it home and once to take it to the race. Seth had a good time designing and making his car. Dad even got a new Dremel patterned after the old one- which broke. He came in sixth in the races and in first place for his happy attitude.

He was finally able to do an outdoor flag ceremony as well so he received his Wolf badge along with one gold arrow point and ten silver arrow points. Way to go Seth! I am pretty sure he is the cutest cub scouter on the planet!
