Pinewood Derby Time!!

 Pinewood derby has come and gone.  (Thank goodness).  Preston and Dean didn't have much time to devote to their car…really we had to do it on a Sunday, only time dean could do it.  They both spent some time on that car, and we were working on it clear up until the day before when we were supposed to weigh in.  So we missed the weigh in.  Dean and Preston brought the car in around 9:30 the night before the race.  I felt like the car felt heavy.  We had no way of knowing if it was to heavy so my brother and I got the bright idea to go to Lin's and use the Deli weight scale.  We put it up their and it weighed 3.2  What???? Pinewood derby cars can weigh up to 5 oz  we were so under when I felt like it was so over.  So Matt and I headed to ace grabbed more weights, and headed back to ace tell we got the right weight.  It looked like so much.  Dad put on all the extra weight, and we headed over to the church that night with Grandpa on speed dial, because we didn't know if Dean would make it in time.  We put it on the scale and sure enough 7.5  What???  We are so over it's ridiculous.  Dad brought the drill and we started taking off all the weight we had put on.  Ha ha.  ended up that the scale at the deli didn't weigh in oz like we needed.  Go figure.  We got it taken care of, and came in at 4.9.  Dean made it in time for the first race of Preston's.  He won that race.  You race the same person twice on both sides of the track.  He ended up winning every race in his den.  So then they raced the fastest car in each den.  Preston ended up winning everyone.  He was so excited.  We were excited for him.  Him and his dad worked hard on it and had a great time working together.  Don't know if we will go onto the big scout expo tournament, but if Preston had his way we would for sure be there.  I think we might be moving that weekend, that's why we
