Pine Wood Derby

The Elder's Quorum is our ward held a Pine Wood Derby race for the elders! Anything went, including a five pound weight limit! No jets or anything that would catch fire or push the other cars over! It was amazing what they came up with! Anthony had so much fun! He decided to design his after the cruiser in Star Wars, but everyone thought it was a spider! He drilled holes in it and filled with melted lead! It was one heavy car!



Anthony working on his car, trying to get the wheels on straight or something! My girl mind couldn't really understand the importance of everything he did to it!




Finished product!

The competition!
I thought that this one was so cool! A covered wagon complete with passengers!
Racing the Rat!
In the end, Anthony ended up with Third Place! He was so excited and I was so proud! His fastest time was like 2.12 seconds! It was a lot of fun! I got to know alot of new wives and that made it worth to me too! It was so fun to watch our husbands act like little boys! The guys would run over and declare, "Did you see? Did you see? I won that one! Watch!" It was awesome!
