Pinewood Derby

Last night the Elders of our ward joined together to act like boys. It was the Elders Quorum's First Annual Pinewood Derby. I helped my hubby with one of his cars. He had put it off (too much other things to do) and we made both of his cars (traditional and non-traditional) about 3 hours before the derby started. I actually had fun doing it. We had a lot of fun at the derby. I spent most of the time talking to friends, but my hubby's car took second! I was so surprised. His was not fancy, but its simple design and racing strip (along with some borrowed weight) just kept winning. It was a fun time. Here's a picture of us:


Our non-traditional car (the one I'm holding) is basically the car with a Nauvoo brick and the title "Block of Mormon." Sweets was tired the whole time, but she did sleep better than normal. I just tired her out enough. Overall, we had a great time, and Hubby is looking forward to doing it again next year.

What a great idea! I cracked up when I read it. I'm glad you have such a fun ward.
