Pinewood derby

Jonah competed in his first pinewood derby.
I have to admit it was difficult for me to turn this one over to Deon. My Dad was the "go-to" guy when it came to building cars. He knew all the tricks to make a fast car, and I learned a bit from him when all the scouts came with their dad's to our garage. Deon had never even seen a pinewood derby car, enough said, but I really wanted them to this together. So I did my best to keep my mouth shut, Jonah did almost all of the work himself (which is the way it is supposed to be), he had a great time, and his car did well.
And look at this proud boy!

I can't believe he's a Cub Scout. Wow they grow up fast. Great looking car too!

Awesome job. Dad was so excited about it. He kept talking about it days before and days after the event. Jet looks like a stud!
