Pinewood Derby

Tal's first Pinewood Derby in Cub Scouts was smashing success. Tal and Kris came up with this concept to make a Harry Potter car with the car being a broom and Tal's Lego Harry Potter riding it. It turned out soooo cool. Their primary goal was to make it a cool unique car but it also turned out to be fast. He was thrilled once the races started and he began winning. Tal won second place over all out of 40 odd boys ( we have a tri-ward troop). By the end of the night Kris was scheming how to make it even faster for next year. It's funny how the competition gets to the dads when before the race started Kris and I had been talking to Tal about how he should act if he didn't win and that it was just fun to build the car and race it :)

So cool Tal! I really love your concept car and the fact that the firebolt really moves. Congrats on your great success! We love you! Donalee, do you love Leah's turtle sand box? We were thinking of getting one for Justin to "Garden" in.
