Pinewood Derby

Hunter loves the Pinewood Derby, or should I say he loves designing and building the car with his Dad!

Our basement is in the process of being finished which made for the perfect place to work on his car.

Hunter said he did not care how fast his car was, he just wanted it to be the coolest design!  

Pretty sure he accomplished that for sure!

His pinewood Derby car is a replica of the pinewood derby track complete with two micro machines racing each other!

Now that's an awesome car!

Best part of all this is for sure the time he gets to spend with his dad!!!

The actual racing was a bit tough on Hunter.  He only won a few races and when it came down to it he did care about how fast his car was.

It was hard to see him struggle with his disappointment but what can you do.

AWESOME CAR!!!

I love the little pit passes Sister Preston made.........he is the best scout leader ever!

Carsen Davis is such a great friend to Hunter.  

Here he is trying to comfort Hunter after one of his lost races.

I am so glad these two are good friends and that the Davis's live in our neighborhood!

This picture is actually one of the races Hunter won.  His is the car on the right hand side track.

Next  year I told Justin he has to talk Hunter into building a fast car no matter what it looks like since it will be his last year of the Pinewood Derby.  Actually I don't care either way but it did make me sad to see Hunter so disappointed.  

Brother Eric Blaire was so nice and came over and told Hunter that "even if Hunter didn't win a lot he had a way cooler car then any of the other boys and that's better then winning a race he thought."

It was really thoughtful of him and made Hunter feel better.
