I am playing catch up with my postings!! I have fallen behind, good grief what's the world coming to! Last month was Mark's first pinewood derby. After watching Josh and Ryan race over the years, Mark has been counting the days until it was his turn. Although he has been in cubs for nearly two years, this was his troops first pinewood derby.
From the moment he got his car he was making plans. He wanted to start that first day (he gets his patience gene from his mom) and everyday reminded Kelly and I that it was time to begin this long sought after project. I remember one day after dinner Mark announced that they were going to start his car right then. He went out into the shop area of the garage and cleaned it (which loosely translated meant moving things from one side of the garage to the other). Next thing we noticed is that he was carting fans out into the garage. We went to inspect and found he had prepped the area and even thought of ventilation. Kelly went out and they began work on the car.
The night of the derby it was fun to see how excited Mark was. He ended up coming up first in his den and second overall. I don't know whose smile was bigger that night Mark or his dad's!
