Pinewood Derby time!

IMG_1297
The highlight of the year for the Cub Scouts is the Pinewood Derby event.  You purchase a kit (consists of a block of wood and some plastic wheels) and then construct it into a cool looking car and try to win the race.  Jacob and Aaron had a lot of fun making the car and went with the theme....wait for it....wait for it....Star Wars.  Of course!  Tonight was the big race and Jacob was in 2nd place in all of his races so unfortunately he didn't get to the finals but he did manage to get voted "most unique" car and won a big trophy!  He was so excited to raceIMG_1346
and really, really wanted a trophy.  He kept saying he was so excited and afterwards kept saying he was "freaking out" that he won a big trophy.  To celebrate his win we went to McD's and to visit Aaron at the fire station.IMG_1310
