This is something I dread every year I am not going to lie. It always seems like Hunter has the slowest car and looses all his races. In the years past he has designed his car to look "cool" instead of being aerodynamic. So this year he decided to make a "fast" car.
This would be Hunter's last year racing and Logan's first year. We always enlist the help of Grandpa Boswell when it comes to the Pinewood Derby.
The boys had a fun time finding the designs they wanted for their cars online. And it's always fun to go use grandpa's tools!
As it turned out Hunter again had one of the slowest cars. I guess he beat one of two other boys. They had a weigh in the night before so he got to race a few times then. He came home very disappointed. We even thought about not letting Hunter participate in the actual Derby the following night. But we decided it should be up to him.
We did tell him that if he chose to compete that he needed to have a good attitude……..win or lose!
I was unable to attend because I had just had Ella. But I was extremely proud when the boys got home and I heard how Hunter was indeed the slowest car, or close to it, and that he just had a fun time with it. He laughed at the chances of him having a loosing car every year.
Way to go Hunter!
In my book having a good attitude when you're loosing makes you more of a winner then anything!
Logan's first year doing Pinewood Derby was MUCH, MUCH different!
Logan took 3rd place!
He could move on and go compete at the Tri-stake derby if he wanted.
He was super happy!
Just so ironic that Logan does so well and it's just his first year, but Hunter has a loosing car once again. It's very apparent to me that we each have our own lessons to learn while on this earth, even as children!
Great job to both Logan and Hunter!
Logan was very sweet to Hunter and told him he would share his metal with him!
