Pinewood Derby cars

The cars are finished, the race is done and the trophy's are in.  Enjoy!

What started out as a block of wood and an idea like these:

turned into pinewood cars like these:

Then came race day and the wait to sign in.  You can see the track here too

Oh, the excitement of seeing your car getting ready to win

and the fun of watching them come to the finish line

Next is the waiting and the anticipation

of seeing who gets to take one of these home

Looks like we did pretty good!



But the best part was the pride of seeing what they created



Cerah's creativity

I am always amazed at the creativity Cerah shows.  I wish I could say she got her artistic streak from me but I cannot.  However, I still like to show off what she does.  In a proud parent way, not a boastful way.  Right now all the kids are working on their pinecar derby projects because the meet is this Saturday.  I will post pictures of the projects as soon as they are done.  But, I have added Cerah's unfinished one here just because it goes along with my post.

Here's Cerah working on her pinewood car

This is her dolphin car waiting to be painted.  She has picked a bright red color

This is her mosaic art project she did in school.  Can you see what it is?

Does this help?  Can you see it now? 

Try again

Cerah was drawing out her pinewood car design for next year when India decided to help her

Luckily Cerah was able to distract her

India is our new pencil sharpener
